From my own observations, weekdays are very limited now. One 323 does the following: 2A11 0927 Birmingham New St to Walsall, 2W18 1000 Walsall to Wolves and 2W21 1122 Wolves to Birmingham New St. This unit splits from another at Four Oaks, runs empty to New St, forms the above workings, then goes back to Soho. It re-emerges for the evening peak on the Cross-City.

On Saturdays, nearly all Wolves - B'ham - Walsall services are 323s. I think the exceptions are a few early morning and late evening workings. Five 323s do the circuit with two extended from Walsall to Rugeley T.V. in the evening.

As for Sundays, I'm not aware of any booked 323s to Wolves.

They definitely do. I had both 323201 and 323206 to and from Rugeley on Saturday 22/02/20.

On a day where I assume due to Storm Dennis the Rugeley services were cut back to Birmingham rather than going to London.

Nothing booked in the standard timetable, engineering works or short notice changes change that.

No, nothing to do with Storm Dennis.

As previously said, two late evening 323-operated Wolves to Walsall stoppers are extended to Rugeley T.V. on Saturday nights only. These are 2H13 2048 Wolverhampton to Rugeley Trent Valley and 2H05 2119 Wolverhampton to Rugeley Trent Valley. The return workings are 2A86 2304 Rugeley Trent Valley to Birmingham New Street and 2A79 2233 Rugeley Trent Valley to Birmingham New Street.

From the May timetable change, RTT data suggests a reduction to one 323 return working to Rugeley on Saturdays.

So when did they change back as they were meant to have ended with the last timetable change in December?
