With apologies to forum member ChrisHogan on a recent thread for comments I made to the contrary concerning London Midlands' Snow Hill services (http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=129048), this evening I've been surprised to witness three peak time services on Birmingham's Snow Hill lines running shortformed. The following services have operated as two carriage tiddlers:
2S70 16:47 Worcester Foregate Street - Stratford upon Avon (Should be 3 cars)
2C64 17:15 Worcester Foregate Street - Dorridge (Should be 4 cars)
2S74 17:57 Stourbridge Junction - Stratford upon Avon (Should be 3 cars)
I wonder whether any forum members would be able to shed some light upon the reasons for the disruption to the normal diagrams: There were some signalling problems going on late afternoon yesterday, but as these were only adding around five minutes onto train times southbound through Snow Hill I assume that they can't have knocked the diagrams that far out of kilter?
