West Midlands Railway

[Wba_lad]

Entry into service of the 730s in the West Midlands has been delayed by another two weeks, so won't be happening today.

Now due to be on the 12th Feb. From 13th Feb hopefully the diagram that starts with the 06:18 Wolverhampton to Walsall will be the first regular use

Correct, this could have been shared a while ago, I know West Midlands railway staff who tell me info it's no big secret you could have revealed this the other day.

No I couldn't as it was still supposed to be this evening

When a senior manager asks me not to tell people, I don't so I can keep their trust.

Unlike the obnoxious post you have just made.

If you knew why didn't you post it?

My post was not obnoxious, I was just saying lots of people knew it was no big secret, 

You could have updated us all a while ago.

I understand about trust ect, I didn't post because I was told to keep to myself but I have seen a few posts going around I didn't know you was told by senior management, 

By far was my post obnoxious.

You didn't tell anyone because you were told to keep it to yourself. So you didn't.
Tony didn't tell anyone because he was told to keep it to himself. So he didn't.

See where I'm coming from? Before jumping straight onto your keyboard. Think what you want to say and review it internally. Then review it again.

Yeah now I get that but I thought he found it on Facebook or something, my comment wasent obnoxious or hurtful in any way I appologise.

Also note that the Wolves -Walsall diagram is from Tuesday 13th January (at the moment), but the first day will be on the 12th on a different working which they still don't want disclosed yet

I think someone already but it on a group, someone said it is on one of the cross city lines, and one may run on the new street to London Euston line.

Question is on the ones from Wolverhampton to Walsall diagrams will they be using the West Midlands railway 730s or will they be using the London north western 730s?

No, no cross city plans yet and definitely no Birmingham London just yet.

As Euston to Tring is currently using West Midlands ones because none of the 5 cars are anywhere near ready I think we know which ones they will be

Oh will probably be Birmingham new street to Liverpool then, 

Would the 5 car 730s fit on the Walsall to Wolverhampton line I know stations like Sandwell and Dudley, Walsall, Wolverhampton possibly, Birmingham new street they will fit but stations like bescot stadium, hamstead, I wonder if a 5 car would fit onto the platform.

The 3 car 730s will be used on the Walsall to Wolves, no?

[mikestone]

The 5 car sets will not fit Wolverhampton p5 so I would suggest use on the Walsall service is highly unlikely.

The 5 car sets are 'Long Distance' units so won't be on commuter runs.

They are for
Euston-Crewe
Euston-Birmingham
Birmingham - Liverpool

The 3 car sets are for
Cross city
Wolverhampton/Birmingham International to Walsall

All other lines are intended to keep 350s

Smethwick?

Smethwick?

I don't think Galton bridge would be a problem, I think more Rolfe street would be.

That's what's SDO is for.
