The first X51 from Cannock was appropriately heavy, by the time it reached me in Leamore. 

I think it picked up at every stop as well, so by the time it got to Walsall,  it was 5 minutes late.

X51 should be limited stop between Bloxwich and Walsall the section served enough by 31/32.

I'm sure it's few and far between, but there's bound to be people wanting to travel from that section to Cannock. Perhaps having it pick up only towards Cannock, and set down only towards Walsall, would work?

What about, for example, people wanting Bloxwich to Birmingham?

Do what X51 Birmingham bound passengers do get off then get 51.

Definitely not, it would lose a lot of it's passengers who get on on that section to go to Birmingham

Fair point, I completely forgot it ran through to Birmingham for a second!

Do the hydrogens do any X51 workings, and if so which ones? Or are they strictly 51s only?

They must be on the 51 or they will bear the wrath of Birmingham City Council.

No longer the case, see below.

No, can go on other routes once they are risk assessed now
