Due to faults on the trains that serve the Stourbridge Junction – Stourbridge Town route, buses will run in place of trains until Friday 8 April inclusive.

Stick a 172 on there ;)

Passed a single WMR coach on low loader heading North on M5 at Bristol on Tuesday. Not a driving unit and didn't have time to see whether it was part of a diesel or electric unit.

Possibly from a 196 as saw a pic of one at Donnington RFT missing a couple of coaches

It was a carriage of 196113

Thanks for that Tony. Do you know where it's likely destination was?

JIM H · April 01, 2022, 10:26:38 AM

Destination for 196113 is likely to be Donnington Railfreight terminal. Several Class 196's have arrived there before forwarding to Tyseley for acceptance. 2 carriages from 196113 have already been seen at Donnington.

Thanks Jim. Any idea when they are supposed to start in service?

Thanks for the extra info . There seem to be more and more vehicles running about in "all over white".

Bus replacement on the Stourbridge Town branch is now expected until at least 23rd April.
