Ah, right, Lichfield City must be a bit tight too though as they stop right at the end of the platform in the Trent Valley direction with the cab door inches away from the ramp.

The 323’s stop right at the TV end of the platform.

Thank you very much!

Apologies if this has been covered upthread, how many daily diagrams are operated by 730s so far and how many units are in traffic? Also are these being used on Saturdays?

There’s 6 diagrams in total, 3 peak extras down South, 1 all day diagram down south, 1 Walsall-Wolves diagram, and 1 Lichfield-Bromsgrove diagram.

The Walsall-Wolves and Cross City diagrams operate on Saturdays. Walsall-Wolves only on Sundays.

That's great, thank you. I may be around Birmingham on Saturday so will keep a look out.

I would suggest a look at the Part Time Spotter site for what 730s are actually running. Usually report Mondays to Fridays and has the diagrams.

Scroll down to look for the WMT services and further down for the LNWR services. Scroll even further down for each day of the week.

Does not report at weekends though, but gives an indication of what will be out as on LNWR the four pairs do not change frequently.

730's will be out in traffic on West Coast South Saturday diagrams after the timetable change (from 8th June)

Any ideas on what the plan is for the cross city diagrams next week? I know the current diagram was to remain the same for 2 weeks so just wondering if there any changes or additional diagrams being introduced considering it's been reported in other threads that more 323s are being prepared to be moved to the North West?
Thanks
