Saturday, August 13, is set to see passengers on the Shrewsbury to Birmingham line warned to travel"only if essential", while August 18 and 20 are likely to see no services at all.
Action by Aslef on August 13 means there will be no West Midlands Trains services running from Birmingham and Wolverhampton through Telford, to Shrewsbury and on to Welshpool, Newtown and Aberystwyth. Shrewsbury & Atcham's Conservative MP, Daniel Kawczynski, has voiced frustration at the impact of the planned action.
Steve Montgomery, chairman of the Rail Delivery Group, said:"We're really disappointed that the Aslef leadership has, for the second time in as many weeks, decided to impose yet more uncertainty for passengers and businesses by disrupting passengers' weekend plans."
