Didn't take down any numbers, I'm afraid, but I did a pretty decent round trip the other day.

NXWM Volvo B7RLE Eclipse Urban on route 11/13 - Tipton to Dudley
NXWM ALX 400 bodied Trident on route 246 - Dudley to Stourbridge

Walked into the town to pick up a few PS2 games from CeX.

London Midland Class 139 - Stourbridge Town to Stourbridge Junction
London Midland Class 172 - Stourbridge Junction to Cradley Heath

Walked down the road to my Dad's place for a few hours

London Midland Class 172 - Cradley Heath to Smethwick Galton Bridge
London Midland Class 323 - Smethwick Galton Bridge to Tipton

Not a bad journey, only been on a 172 once or twice before and got to go on the 139 for the first time.

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.
