1st Day of Work Experience at Virgin was great!
I've recently heard and spoken to a couple of people about the 87s on the Birmingham Shuttles. If the set continues with these problems and with unreliability then Virgin plan to pull the plug on it. The 87s are apparently causing headaches at Head Office with lack of trained staff.
Catch them while you can.
Wilmslow Line saw lots of action today as XC and WC were diverted and went over Alsager due to signalling problems at Stoke. The line is due to be reopened fully within the next 2 weeks.
Plans are for another Pendolino set is going to be withdrawn from service because of filming for a new advert. The first class roof on one of the coaches is going to be taken off so they can get a camera on wheels or in the air or something like that to film. My guess is that the set will be used at the time on going sanding modifications are taking place.
