Trams will only run from St George's to Bull Street today

Unite union will be taking part in strike action which is set to take place over a number of days in the coming months.

A spokesman said: "There will be changes to service on Saturday 29th due to industrial action.

"First trams in service from Wednesbury Parkway will be at 7:58am/8:12am to Bull St. and Wolverhampton St. George's respectively."

Travellers have been advised to plan ahead and allow extra time for any journeys as services will be limited, and so those running are expected to be busier than usual.

The industrial action is the latest in a bout of strikes taking place across the Black Country and nationwide.

Strikes have been taking place by rail workers, barristers, postal workers, and teachers.
