No need for as many 323s on the cross city, and I guess it means the Desiros can be put to use on busier Saturday daytime London services

Probably this;-

which according to the timings is booked for a 153 - presumably plus a 170.

As someone who knows very little about modern trains. Yesterday afternoon at about 15:10 from the window of my French class I noticed an unusual train pulling out of Hagley station towards Kidder. Unusual in that it wasn't one of the usual 172s (being in my 6th year at Haybridge/Hagley I have become quite familiar with their distinctive ZF transmission over the past few years!)

Anyone know if this "unusual" working is actually regular?

Yeah, that would be the 170/6 + 153 working, which runs Mon-Fri.

It does
12:51 Worcester Shrub Hill - Whitlock's End
14:19 Whitlock's End - Worcester Foregate Street (this would be the one that you saw, arriving into Hagley at 15:12, and getting into Foregate Street for 15:39)
16:13 Worcester Foregate Street to Dorridge
18:03 Dorridge to Stourbridge Junction (then goes empty to Worcester TMD)

Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Most used routes in bold

The timings do not always reflect what is the booked traction.
All trains on the Rugeley line are timed for class 150/3/5/6 but it doesn't mean that is the booked units
