Owned by Transport UK, West Midlands Trains operates two customer-facing railway brands – London Northwestern Railway and West Midlands Railway. We proudly provide services across the West Midlands, the North West, and London, delivering over 1,300 services per day for more than 60 million passengers every year. 

We’re a straight-talking, honest train company, and our vision is pretty simple – to provide a railway that’s easy to use, and exceeds the expectations of our customers, colleagues, and community. We exist to serve the whole West Midlands community and beyond, in all its complexity and diversity – and we’re proud to do so. 

Since the start of our journey in 2017, we’ve committed to improving our services – investing £1 billion into the region’s network, including £700 million on new and refurbished trains. On top of that, we’re rolling out 400 new carriages and creating space for an extra 85,000 passengers on rush-hour services across Birmingham and London. For more info about our new and refurbished trains and stations, visit our London Northwestern Railway website or West Midlands Railway website. 

When it comes to equality, diversity, and inclusion, we’re on track to making West Midlands Trains a place for everyone – where similarities are celebrated, and differences are embraced and treated with respect, always. We have initiatives in place to help create a more inclusive railway for our team, as well as our customers and stakeholders; and in the past year, we’ve made some good progress. We appointed an EDI Steering Group Chair, launched internal network groups that focus on inclusion, and we’re working to make recruitment and progression more accessible to everyone – and there’s so much more to come. Head to our website if you fancy learning more.

As you can probably tell, we’re a close-knit community at West Midlands Trains, and a pretty fun place to work – so if you’re looking for your next challenge, have a look at our current vacancies, and discover all the additional benefits we offer when you join!
