6-car on the Walsall line?

[thewolf]

Currently stood at Hamstead waiting to go towards Walsall and the customer info display on the Birmingham bound platform is reporting the 2051 as being formed of 6 coaches. Never seen that before and don't think the stations, except Aston and Duddeston can accommodate 6.

Anybody have any info on this or is it just an inputting error?

Thanks.

Never known a Chase Line service to be 6 cars. Out of interest, would this have been booked for a 2 323s or 2 170s?

The 2051 was a Walsall to Birmingham local service, leaving Walsall from platform 3, so probably a 323 set.

Its been a 323 when I've caught it in the past, presumably the return of the 1947 from New Street which I was on as far as Tame Bridge and was a single 323.

I know that a service was cancelled due to a train fault earlier in the evening, only thing I could think is maybe that unit was at Walsall and they tagged it onto the back of that service for get it back to Soho.
