From today:
Aston still has green/black lampposts (despite having fresh signage), while Gravelly Hill, Erdington & Chester Road are now fully tangoed (still with old LM/Network WM signs). Sutton Coldfield is about 40% done with repainting, and still retains its gold NWM signs.

Is that all the /3s that have ad vinyls now then?

350373 has a picture of what I’m fairly sure is the interior of the Hippodrome Theatre, pictured here:
...with the caption “Birmingham New Street”.
(PS Easy mistake to make. I’m forever mistaking theatres for bridges; it can be quite inconvenient!

Unlike the standard livery, that Tussaud's version looks OK to me.

I find it quite strange they trialled and scrapped the promotional liveries on WMR, but are fine doing it on LNR... At least it will make Bachmann more money
With 375 now done that does complete the 3s then.
They are now:
368 Resorts World
369 Edgbaston
370 Cadbury World
371 Birmingham Airport
372 Visit Liverpool
373 Birmingham Hippodrome
374 Liverpool Airport
375 Madame Tussauds
376 Harry Potter World
377 Stratford upon Avon

How?
I doubt they'll be re-running the 350s, even though they could with loads of different liveries now!

(Off Topic) Usually people only call it a re-run if it's remade in the same liveries. It's quite standard practice for model manufacturers to make one model, and then roll it out in more liveries across the years. Just see the class 150! The only concern I could see if it is a /3 and the /3 is too dissimilar to a /1 or /2. They're doing a N Gauge TPE 350 however...
I'd like to see that go to Startford upon Avon!

There is a thread for the LNW WCML timetable changes
https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/lnr-new-wcml-timetable-may-2019-in-open-data-feeds.176894/
but I have not seen one for the WMR timetable changes. I would also be interested in that if someone more expert in timetables than I am would start one.

Can anyone identify the following landmarks at the end (0:17)?

- Bottom Left brick building
- Centre brick building with clock
- Centre Right, square building with crosses
The building with the crosses is the Cube at the back of the Mailbox.

Not sure about the top one, but the centre brick building is the Joseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock ("Old Joe"), probably the most instantly recognisable landmark of the University of Birmingham (coincidentally, my alma mater).
I’m pretty sure ‘Old Joe’ is the taller clock tower on the left hand side of the image. I’m not entirely sure what the clock tower in the centre is, but it looks similar to the one near Chamberlain Square in the city centre.

The map in that WMR advertisment is of the West Midlands County. The franchise covers West Midlands Region. Do WMR not want us to go to Stratford, Worcester, Malvern, Hereford and the other places that they have train services to?
