London Midland Service shown as a Sleeper

[mattyb1405]

When I can I will upload a screen shot. However, trying to confirm last time of trains between Birmingham New St and Coventry for tonight. Last one looks to be 22.54, but a 23.14 showing as a sleeper service , just thought it sounded bizarre!!!

Odd!

I can't imagine sleeping on a 323 being comfortable.
2C35 2314 Birmingham New Street to Coventry is the last service, calls at all stops.

Where is it showing as a sleeper?

Some kind of error / deliberate joke for the last train to depart on the Coventry line before the concourse switch over at New Street tonight maybe?

Odd!

Cheers thats the screen shot i was trying to upload as well. Glad it wasnt just me though!

Real Time Trains showing the same.

This does occasionally happen, someone has simply uploaded it into the database incorrectly. I spotted a London Victoria to Brighton sleeper service back in December (see here).

Shame I've just booked a ticket on it, although I ticked the option for a free reclining seat, it didn't spit out the reservation coupon when collecting from the machine. Ahh well.

Someone has just put the wrong code on it before uploading. Happens a lot on STP schedules.

I remember when looking this up 2-3 months ago, it was shown as a sleeper. Made me chuckle then

I remember checking LM WCML services in the past on Real Train Times and seeing one was booked to be a Class 506 EMU

No it will be timed for a class 506 EMU.

it is clearly a clerical error! hardly worth the froth!

No it will be timed for a class 506 EMU.

It is an idiosyncrasy of the system as the 350-110 trains show as 506 for some reason, it is to do with how the traction is linked up in TRUST. They are not timed that way.
