XC Voyager through Rugeley TV this morning

[dangie]

Saw a Cross-Country Voyager pass very slowly through Rugeley Trent Valley (southbound) at approx 1120 this morning. Can't see anything on Realtime Trains. Anyone know what service it was and why?

1O14 10:27 Manchester to Banbury diverted via Colwich and Rugeley (Reverse) to Stafford due to a possession overrun between Madeley and Norton Bridge. Shown as 220033.

Thanks very much. Glad I wasn't seeing things.

Don't they still have Basingstoke to Southampton via Laverstock? Includes Eastleigh to Romsey via Chandlers Ford.

Can anybody tell me if this was related to the 11:33 from Stafford Voyager being diverted via Crewe?

I'm a little surprised that 'Birmingham New Street to Derby via Leicester' isn't on that list.
Thanks,

Probably because XC sign that way on the BHM-Stansted trains.
