Journey check is showing the 10.05, 13.05, 16.05 and 19.05 Birmingham-Shrewsbury as 4 cars vice 5 today - never spotted that before.

Is tomorrows WVH-WAL line going to have 323's or 350's?

It's a normal Mon-Fri timetable tomorrow, so I would expect both

not quite - it's buses Tame Bridge Parkway-Rugeley all weekend

350 and 323 on there today

I was waiting for someone to mention that. Apart from trains terminating at TAB, it's a normal timetable, it is on my side anyway (Wolverhampton - New Street)

What is the future for the 323s, have never been over keen on them.

Personally i think the 350s are a million times better.

I use them almost everyday (and the 350's too), I think they're brilliant machines, the traction motor is the most unique I've ever heard, they're perfect for what they're used for. I've heard loads of rumours about their future. Personally, I can eventually see the Birmingham New Street - Birmingham International & Walsall-Wolverhampton being entirely 350 to cascade 323s to the XCity line for the Bromsgrove extension

I didn't even realise the xx:12/xx:42 Rugeleys weren't running (to at least Tame Bridge). The evening services could easily be ran by 2 Class 323s. Probably the Sunday service as well, which is also 2tph between Birmingham and Tame Bridge

Unlikely they'll see sense and do that, they'll still waste use 170s on there. Always infuriates me when diesels are used when the whole route is electric

Well Wolves to Walsall had 350 during the morning and afternoon but then the 17:07 from tbp was a 323.

Depends where they are reversing them in Bescot Yard

So it should be, that diagram is booked for a 323
