how many are at soho & how many are going to.be at duddeston when ts built

The July edition of Modern Railways has a special feature on the Midlands which stretches to about 30 pages. It states that the 730s will be maintained at Duddeston which will be built on railway land alongside the Cross City line. It will be a 4-road depot with entrances at both ends and will have a wheel lathe. Soho will become more of a stabling and servicing place.

They won't be reallocated to SI, but there's nothing to say that West Midlands local finishers won't receive servicing and cleaning there.

You know you can email or tweet them regarding complaints, right? Just wanted to make sure you realised that was an option.

But that's not as good fun as looking for cancelled trains on line and complaining even though you never intended catching it anyway

I was waiting at Landywood Tony! Wondered why the car park was empty then saw someone coming down from the platform and they told me. I did check on trainline just to make sure

I have a Swift monthly DD ticket and put the monthly cost in and they accept this and work out the compensation due. Not sure if that is any use?
