London Midland Trains

[arrifirststage]

On a LM train from cannock to Birmingham and was supposed to meet someone on it, theyre in the middle carriage and the bloody door between that and the first one doesnt work so I cant get to them. The conductor ( if theyve bothered their arse to put one on) also cant get to us. So im gonna be faced with a huge queue at new st when I get off. Thanks LM rubbish service as usual

Poor Bob........if they ever do another series of "One Foot in the Grave" you would be an absolute shoe in as Victor Meldrew.

That is pretty poor service though?  As it happened they didnt even check tickets getting off in brum!

What class is it that they have the blue interior, there my favourite ones

Seat colour is by operator, not class of unit, for instance nearly all London Midland Trains (Class 150/153/170/172/323/350(/2/3) have Green seats, the only non-standard being the 350/1 which were new just before LM took over the franchise

It's a pity though that no-one thought to specify blue seats for 350/3s, as many conductors explain to the "normals" that only the ones with blue seats have tables!!!!

Oh ok thanks for that info, which ones are your favourite tony?

[Tara4352]

I think Tonys favorite will be a 170 or a 350

Miles off, My favourite is a class 42 or 52 but both have long gone from regular service! and believe it or not in the morning I always choose the 153 over the 170 on my train

[Tara4352]

Is it the 153 that does the Coventry to Nuneaton

Not a train spotter, so i don't know much about this, but which class run Walsall-Bham New Street?

323 or the 350 which has operated on their the past few days

Think you will find that 153 & 170s also operate that line at the moment until the cannock bit is electrified.

Why on earth at the busiest time of year do they think it's acceptable to put a two carriage train on tje chase line? Uncomfortable journey absolutely packed to the rafters.

While I don't like it as much as you, perhaps you could say where they can get any more carriages from

[Bob]

Well the one going in had an old carriage stuck on the back ? And was less than half as busy? If they dont have enough train carriages to operate busy journeys ( still often rammed when uts not xmas) then theyre not really up to much? Itd be like nx operating e200s on peak time X51s every day...
