As a few 170s and 153s are used on Snow Hill lines, the 172s from London could help if needed

Cant imagine them putting them on

Well I have been told today that from the next timetable change (May 18) the 16:42 from New Street is going to be diagrammed for 3 (2x170+153) instead of the current 2

I think it's just  a light hearted joke, seriously you need a sense of humour...

Like quoting every link 🧐. You say you got better things to do? Is that reporting every branded off route AG wise? Remember the branded e200 MMCs you must of filled 20 pages with them...

Well you clearly stuck in the past, if your still going on about that as AG don't have any 71/2 Branded MMC anymore.
Have you nothing better to do than bring up stuff from the past and try and start an argument with me?

By the way I don't.
I see loads of branded buses of route on the 1 and I haven't reported any of them.

I never knew what this Isle of Sodor thing was as I don't go about watching Childerens television.

There was a few comments about that on RailUK too, but who knows if there's any truth to it. Isn't the livery decided by TfWM though, not WMR's management? Can't imagine there's much they can do regarding the livery.

Bombadier have confirmed an order from West Midlands Trains for 333 Aventra carriages.

That is the new Cross City stock, and electric units for Euston Commuter services
(Article is from Bombardie rHQ in Quebec, so in French!)

I believe they have also agreed to take 3 x 2car 230 (to be numbered 230201-3) for the Bedford Bletchley service

On another note, still getting 350's that are announcing 'Welcome aboard this London Midland service....'. I did have 350101 yesterday that announced 'Welcome aboard this service to...'.

I wonder if new announcements will be recorded. I hope it's someone else doing them as the Julie Berry's voice does grind on me a bit.
