The strike will take place on Tuesday 21, Thursday 23 and Saturday 25 June.
A total of 13 train companies will have staff on strike on the planned days of action, and several of these operate services through Birmingham train stations.
These include West Midlands Railway, CrossCountry, and Avanti West Coast.
