Supporters are advised there will be heavily impacted rail services on Wednesday night for our clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Villa Park.
Villa host their midlands neighbours for the club's first home fixture of the new year on Wednesday, January 4 (ko 8pm).
Due to industrial action, there is a limited service on the Cross City Line to/from Aston, operating until 6pm only. There will also be no service to/from Witton.
Fans are advised to use alternative options and to allow ample time to prepare in advance for their journey, with roads expected to be busier than usual.
Please note, this is not expected to impact Sunday’s FA Cup tie against Stevenage, when normal Sunday service will be in operation.

We’re always looking at ways to improve the fan experience at Villa Park and we’re pleased to announce a significant investment in the Lower Holte concourse, where we have added the latest technology allowing supporters to enjoy quicker service times.
Sixteen new self-order units have been installed to replace the traditional bar service, with the additional benefit of being able to order and pay for pre-match and half-time refreshments in one transaction, meaning a quicker service throughout your matchday experience.
On the Lower Holte concourse (closest to the Doug Ellis stand), these screens will allow you to order a range of alcoholic drinks, soft drinks and confectionary, which can be collected from the two bars opposite the Holte Suite.
On the Lower Holte concourse (closest to the Trinity stand), these screens will allow you to order a range of alcoholic drinks, soft drinks, hot drinks and Panjabi Grill hot food, which can be collected from the Panjabi Grill kiosk.
From February we will be launching a Frictionless Kiosk using groundbreaking AI technology which will see improved service times and a simple ‘Tap and Go’ approach to matchday refreshments.
Please look out for staff in pink vests who will be happy to direct and support. We hope this new, user-friendly experience will help you enjoy your day out at Villa Park.
For fans in Upper Doug Ellis, Bar 1874 will be open at half-time offering a range of alcoholic drinks, soft drinks and hot food.
