Previously there was only 2 170 diagrams and not at this time of day! (2x3 coaches in the morning peak and 1x3 coaches+ a 153 in the afternoon/evening peak). Wonder if it was maybe just subbing in for the 172/0s...They still have 170s on that route Snow hill

Anyone know how many diagrams are for 170s now or are we just getting a random unit generator?
The new Nuneaton - Leamington service successfully started today and still has 172003 (with headboards front and back today!) working (its been on the service since Saturday), which has been joined by 172002 on the other working. I took a ride to Bermuda Park on the 0715 to Leamington, which had a good complement of passengers, a definite improvement on the 153 which would have been full and standing. New carpet and upholstery created a much better ambience than the 153s.
Nice touch that by WMT.Here it is:

There is now two diagrams for class 170s to operate on the Snow Hill lines for most of the day. One of the diagrams consist of a 2 x 2 car 170 and the other being 2 x 153 with a 170.
These are booked workings and are not standing in.
I haven't got the diagrams to hand. I will you know when I'm next in work.
That was a suprise! The 1617 from Solihull (a 172 for years) has just turned up with dogbox's! Stinking, shrieking, roasting hot and packed in the 153 I'm on. No PIS or automated noises of course.
