I have been reading a book about 158s and there’s several mentions of class 158s running services from Norwich to Birmingham. I didn’t realise there ever were direct services between the two cities, is anyone on here able to shed any light on frequency, calling patterns, routing, or even any old...

Yes as I expected but I have learned a lot of things that have happened from this thread some before I was born so it has been very interesting. Thank you all for your responses!

I’m guess the answer to this will be no but has a loco-hauled service (probably either a Class 86 or 90) ever reached Southend or Southminster on a normal passenger service out of Liverpool Street? Either operated by Greater Anglia, NXEA, “one”, Anglia Railways or even in British Rail times...

Think it was Bradford on Avon, Trowbridge, Warminster then Basingstoke? I have the old timetable. Shame such a service no longer exists! Although at least there’s a partial replacement with SWR Bristol-Waterloo.

I used Pinhoe a few times when I lived in Exeter. I lived in Polsloe so I was between Pinhoe and Central. It was a lot cheaper for me to walk half hour to Pinhoe than go from Central when travelling to Andover! Very useful station.

The GWR Brightons have been around as long as I can remember. Personally I would prefer the Cardiff-Portsmouths to go toBrighton instead of Portsmouth. However it may cause problems for crew based at Fratton and not sure how pathing is between Havant-Brighton.

Maybe they don’t do it anymore was a few years ago when I saw it.

HSTS are not MUs I would say more like loco-hauled stock. You may get one come to Fratton on match days but not sure if they still do this?
