In the days of First North Western, the 1735 to Holyhead nearly always ran via Bescot as I used to catch it on a Saturday. As for what WMR are doing, I imagine its to allow more dwell time in the peaks for stopping services at stations as the Liverpool service is non-stop between New Street and Wolves now I believe.

Quote from: BlackCountryBusSpotter on October 08, 2024, 11:21:55 AMI don't how long they have been doing this but WMR are sending the Morning and Evening Liverpool to Birmingham Trains and Birmingham to Liverpool Trains up through Bescot and passing Darlaston, I think it is in one direction so Liverpool to Birmingham of a morning and then Brum to Liverpool of an evening. I know we have the Shrewsbury Service ready for when or if Darlaston and Willenhall reopen and presumably at night the stopping service from Rugeley to Wolverhampton might stop at the two, but why are they sending the Liverpool trains down this way unless they serve the stations to.


Route knowledge I presume.
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

On the subject of WMR route knowledge the two trains booked to do Galton-Smethwick West are both diverted via Camp Hill in December - XC trains routed that way appear unchanged.

No trains will be calling at Bescot Stadium until further notice. This is due to someone be stabbed

However, these two services will still operate to/from Snow Hill via the Stourbridge line when the Albion have an evening home fixture.
