The majority of local rail services in the West Midlands are operated by London Midland (part of Govia).

London Midland took over the rail franchise from Central Trains in November 2007. The London Midland rail branding is fully integrated with Network West Midlands branding.

Virgin Trains, Cross Country Trains, Chiltern Railways, Arriva Trains Wales, Wrexham and Shropshire and Marylebone Railway also serve the Network West Midlands area.
