Transport for Wales is able to run a reduced service.

Transport for West Midlands says it will be running no train services at all across the region on Thursday as train drivers union Aslef takes its turn in walking out.

A TfW spokesman said:"We’re running close to a normal timetable on all routes tomorrow, except there will be no services before 7am and some late evening services will not run.But on TfW lines from Ludlow to Gobowen and beyond, and Shrewsbury into Newtown and Welshpool and on to the coast travellers will be able to check on the company's app for services that are running.

On Wednesday, around half of Britain's railway lines were closed and only a fifth of services were running as tens of thousands of workers at Network Rail and train operators walk out on the second day of a 48-hour strike by members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union . In a letter to Rishi Sunak, Mr Nowak said public services were in crisis after years of"underfunding and understaffing".

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch warned on Tuesday that industrial action will need to continue beyond May unless a reasonable offer to resolve the row over pay, jobs and conditions is made to the union.
