Slam Dunk and Lakeside ska festival: Trains to be replaced by buses as thousands are set to descend on Birmingham's NEC
Buses will replace trains on routes to the NEC this weekend as thousands are set to descend on the Birmingham landmark for two major events.
The replacement service will run between Birmingham New Street and Coventry, meaning no direct trains to Birmingham International.
The Beat, Buzzcocks, The Selecter and Stiff Little Fingers will play the NEC on Sunday, followed by Slam Dunk Festival on Monday.
Rail services to Bryan Adams' show at the Genting Arena on Friday will not be affected, which comes due to improvement works says West Midlands Railway.
The transport service has warned that journeys 'will take significantly longer than usual' over the weekend, and that travellers should 'allow more time and plan ahead'.
