This morning I got the 6:20 Pendolino from Euston to Birmingham at Coventry, and it was on time.
As we passed Birmingham Intl. things slowed right down and the manager announced we were being diverted north since a LM train had broken down at Stechford. We thus had a tour of north Brum via Aston and Perry Barr before reaching New St. about 30 mins late.
Didn't think at the time, but 1st class is now at the wrong end of the train for Euston, so what will they do about it, drive back round the loop? Will there be complaints on here about 1st class passengers walking through steerage to get to the doors at London?
