Thanks. Google Maps suggests changing at Stratford as well, so I’ll do that.

I hold an Off Peak Return from Coleshill Parkway to Chelmsford (£80.90) - restriction code 2C For the return journey from Chelmsford I understand the following: I can travel on any train from Chelmsford to London, as the restrictions are on departures from London Terminals, e.g. take a 8:30am...

There are no barriers at Coleshill...a manual barrier is a rare sight.

Diamond charge £1 for concessionary pass use before 09:30

There is an option to change to the bus at Coleshill Parkway. Leicester 06:18 Coleshill (arr) 06:58 Coleshill (dep bus 75) 07:08 Birmingham Intl (arr) 07:28 This avoids the need to change at Birmingham New Street, which might be useful if you have luggage. The Leicester - Coleshill train would...

I've always thought the Y shape of the MML makes it ideal for splitting services. Timetable modelling / pathing isn't my thing, but assume the southern section is most congested would it be feasible to have: Half Hourly 2*4/5 car, slow to Kettering, calling all MML stations, one portion...

The 8:26 is about to be worked by a 4 car meridian (222101). Never seen a meridian on this route before.

The Digbeth extension of the Midland Metro is supposed to reach Adderley Street, which is 2/3 of the way from Moor Street to Bordesley as well. I suspect the eventual Birmingham Airport extension will use this and the Small Heath Highway so will basically pass Bordesley station. Assuming...

Bus 97A runs hourly through the night to Birmingham City Centre, although I can't think of anywhere useful that it passes through for a hotel, 900 runs between Birmingham and Coventry and 966 to Solihull, but both don't run between 11:30 and 6am ish.

There has been an extra service on Saturday nights to Nuneaton as well, calling Coleshill Parkway only

I use the off peak equivalent ticket in the direct route via Nuneaton semi-regularly and have never had any issues.

I got confused by LONDON as a routing point, but journeys not being allowed via West Hampstead. I've always thought it valid via Bletchley, but thanks for your clarifications.

Hi, Can someone please help me in establishing the validity of a Coleshill Parkway - Luton Airport Parkway season on the WCML. I need to travel into Central London this week (starting from Coleshill) and am trying to work out whether I need a ticket from Nuneaton, Bletchley, Watford (or...

I think it just reflects competition, there is a virtually LM monopoly at Nuneaton, but from Coleshill there are viable alternatives in the off peak pattern: Coleshill - Euston via Nuneaton, 1h43, 1tph Coleshill - Euston via Birmingham, 1h50, 2tph There is also Birmingham International, which...
