Wow there nice , are these for the snow hill line and cross city ?

They will see off the 153s and 170s so New Street to Hereford and Shrewsbury, and yes also some use on the Snow Hill alongside the 172s already on there.

Which trains are going on the Cross-City and when?

72/72A Solihull Station - Chelmsley Wood
73 Solihull - Heartlands Hospital
X1 Birmingham - Coventry
X2 Birmingham - Solihull Station
A10 Solihull - Cranes Park / Chelmsley Wood

I believe they're going to be on Hereford's first, and Shrewsbury's later on in the year.  Well... that was the plan before the pandemic.

Wonder if anyone on here can clarify this for me:

I have an annual season ticket that I haven't used since the 20th March.  I may be needing to use it again in coming weeks and was just wondering if I can get a refund for the 2 or so months that it wasn't used for and still keep the ticket until it expires in September?

Thanks

Hi @Pat

I would say yes, but the company would need to have proof of when you last used it. I would also assume that you can keep the ticket until it expires. You better write to them asap.  That is my understanding of the situation, but I can't be sure if I'm right!

I've written to them and have to go to the station I purchased it from to get a refund.

The answer is on here https://www.westmidlandsrailway.co.uk/season-ticket-refunds

You don't have to got to the station, you can do it online.

Also you cannot just get a refund for two months, you will have to surrender the ticket and then purchase a new ticket when you start to travel again.
