No the GOBLIN has 710s. 172/0 finished on 31/12/18 as London Overground weren’t allowed to keep them.

710’s on all services today.

172002 arrived at Tyseley from Ilford in Mid December. Another has been of lease for a number of weeks. The last 6 came of lease on 31/12/18.

Shifts at Snow Hill start around 5am at the earliest and the lates finish at 01.00 at the latest and all options in between. It’s a 4 day week with every 3 weeks 5 days off. The are committed Sunday’s but that only around 1 a month. Yes for child care some will work better then others but some...

172331 been on Tyseley for 2 weeks for C4 exam. Will this be the next one out?

I believe this is a good call. As I here WM are ready to go. Unit and traincrew diagrams start on the 19th! Leamington should be trained on 153’s by May as well.

The 2 good ones on the Snow Hill lines I hear are Acocks Green and South Yardley also Knowle and Dorridge.

It wouldn’t suprise me if the is a trip to derby and they return looking like the other ones with corridor cabs and toilets. The Camera’s removed but wires and everything else left in place for future use.

The are lots of projects big and small that need to be achieved. 4th set of carriages, a carriage shed, a turntable, fasilitating an extra steam locomotive or 2. Then the is the next major project and personal I’d love an extension back into Cheltenham. I mentioned Willesley Halt which along...

TBH I think the Snow Hill lines Guards are the best for tickets of the old LM areas. You could go Brum to Euston and back and never be checked!

Honeybourne must happen at some point in the future. Mainline connections do change things. Lots of gala locos that put ‘Bum’s on seats’ will only appear via rail. Also the is the Cheltenham race day specials. Both these will bring in money. Willersey Halt would be in the middle of village...

Sadly it’s as easy to change modern units from Guard Controlling the doors to DOO/DCO as it is to in reverse!

It’s done for a 172 once London Overground have finished with theirs.

Knowing the number of people who travel between just Coventry and Leamington forgetting Kenilworth I think the is a good chance they will be very full at rush hour.

You miss my point! Yes the have been loads of hold ups! Each party from day one has had a part to play. The Target of 2016 was nice but never going to be achievable. August 2017 could have worked but more work not only on network rail part ie moving of track and signaling and track alternation...

The local press isn’t exactly the font of all information. So the Station is going to be a little late. All parties have had little hold ups along the way. Be it a week or a few weeks. One party can’t start till another has finished. The Crew training isn’t going to start till the end of...

350373 I believe but not sure of any 170 or 172’s yet!

A 153 in LM livery seen at leamington today on the 1st day of Crew training

No I agree but it’s about the amount to get a dozen people on site to do a bit of head scratching then disappear of to an office to drink tea and eat biscuits!

2m could be second platform. I think other projects talked about like more double track would cost more!
