That is something I have noticed a few time too.

Realtime Trains is now showing the train formations for West Midlands Railway and London NorthWestern Railway services.

There's now a 730/2 at Soho for driver training.

Currently 730211

See WMR have done their research when informing passengers about replacement facilliities between Wolves & Shrewsbury due to yet another problem on the route.

'Catch Arriva buses between Wolverhampton & Shrewsbury!'

What Arriva bus?

(Think this route is rivalling the Metro for regular issues!)

ellspurs

x10 Shrewsbury --> Telford

8 Telford --> Bridgnorth

9 Bridgnorth --> Wolverhampton.

It isn't practical, but it is doable.

Just seen new WMR trains at Walsall station. Five carriage sets. I believe these are for the Euston services

Are they going to be used on Birmingham to London services via Tile Hill, Coventry, Northampton etc?

I know at the minute the 730/0 do some of the late night journeys to Coventry as I think they are stationed there overnight. One comes off the cross city.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.
