Supporters trying to get to the Arena for City's game against Wolves on Monday January 2nd by train are advised to seek other ways of getting to the game if a proposed strike by Central Train guards goes ahead.

The strike for December 27th and January 2nd comes following a dispute over Bank Holiday payments. Central Trains told the BBC that: "it was too early to say how many trains across the Midlands and beyond would be affected. It stressed that it was still talking to the RMT union, and hoped the strikes may not go ahead."

On the same day, bus fares in Coventry increase. The new prices mean the 75p fare will rise to 80p with the £1 flat rate rising to £1.10. The Coventry Day Saver also rises from £2.30 to £2.50.
