Chiltern Railways

A bit of pedantry, it is not a class 82. DVTs do not have class numbers, they are carriages.

Don't know the type of train but that train has been amended slightly to depart Marylebone at 1900 and includes a Wembley Stadium call. Looks like most trains after the 1840 revised by 10 mins.

It'll either be a 165, 168 or a 172. The last loco hauled departure from Marylebone on Saturdays is 1G53, which leaves at 1810.

The 12:24 Chiltern Railways service to London Marylebone from Solihull called at Acocks Green, Olton and Widney Manor, earlier due to West Midland Railways services being delayed, cancelled and stuck due to emergency services dealing with an incident in the Kidderminster area.
Very good that someone made that decision for the 12:24 to call at those stations, rather than leaving people stuck at those stations with no service and not knowing when the service woud resume.

It seems somebody was hit by a train at Stourbridge Junction.

what will happen to  Chiltern  railway when arriva is sold as don't they run the service

[Bob]

Im travelling with Chiltern next Sat from bham to london. Im dreading it. Euston is closed so presumably the Chiltern service will be much busier than usual. Catching the 08.56 from moor st. How many carriages does that usually have?

Retendered or the new company takes on the franchise with approval of the dft or operator of last resort

Whatever is "usual" is irrelevant. They'll be running everything different, purely because of the Euston Blockade, likely all the Birmingham services will have extra carriages

Hopefully loco hauled!
