Last journey you made on public transport

[Sh4318]

20:52 BMO - SGB. I was pleasantly surprised to hear Julie Berry announce Hartlebury as one of the calling stations. I didn't know Hartlebury gained evening services. Must have happened in the May timetable.

Going to start a totally random guessing game now of wild speculation - are you picking up a coach to be used as a shuttle vehicle during the Commonwealth games?

SR102?

Yes, Hartlebury gained 3 M-F evening services and 2 on Sat in each direction from the May timetable.

Correct.  How did you work out the fleet number though?  I didn't know that until I got there

I had a great ride on 4311 on the 59 from Wolverhampton and round the Ashmore Park loop this evening. Got off it about 15 mins ago

That's great. Hopefully there's a Sunday service on it's way, even though I can't see it being more than 5 trains a day (as current Blakedown Sunday service)

London Midland have rejected a request to provide a 2-hourly Sunday service from the December timetable.  I think that the Stourbridge Line User Group are going to resubmit this request when Monday to Saturday figures are published showing an increase in footfall at Hartlebury.

Incidentally, London Midland have agreed to one extra train per hour in each direction (off-peak Monday to Saturday) at Hagley from December, reinstating through trains from there to Worcester.

@Roy that would be great for Hartlebury, it would receive the same level of service as Small Heath (2tph). Presumably the Whitlock's End terminators would need more time on journeys to call at Hartlebury, so hopefully the Worcester xx:51s to Whitlock's End, will be retimed to leave at xx:46 to allow time to call at Hartlebury. Hopefully Hartlebury will receive some form of a Sunday service by December

Just had 5511 on the 59 which will probably be my last ride on a B5 at WN
