I was at Smethwick Galton bridge waiting for the Wolverhampton to Walsall service and whilst waiting I saw two trains take the Galton junction from Birmingham new street towards Smethwick west/Stourbridge. I can't see these trains on real time trains. I wondered what these trains were. Any help?

It may well have been one of the Hereford trains being diverted. There have been some signalling problems between Droitwich and Bromsgrove this morning and a common diversion if necessary is to route the train via Galton Jct. and Stourbridge (necessitating the cancellation of Uni and Bromsgrove stops).
