Going past Soho TMD earlier, I noticed one of the Class 323s displayed 'Cheadle Hulme' as a destination. Do all LM 323s have Northern destinations programmed into them just in case of a loan/lease?

The LM 323's have all destinations available to program when they had the new destination panels fitted (323203 has side destinations fitted but never used). Northern didn't have theirs changed. However it's highly unlikely that they would ever loan them out, they have non to spare.

LM trains were delayed during the evening rush hour on the Snow Hill lines.

Certain trains were being announced as being delayed or cancelled due to a "problem near the railway", whilst others were being delayed due to a broken down train at Kidderminster. Was it the same incident I wonder, but the mysterious "problem" is still ongoing according to JourneyCheck:

"Delays to services between Droitwich Spa and Birmingham Snow Hill Owing to a problem near the railway between Droitwich Spa and Birmingham Snow Hill:

My 18:27 (the one with the 153) BMO - SGB was cancelled today, due to safety checks, I was really looking forward to it. Departure boards from Smethwick Galton Bridge are showing the 21:45 (ex Worcester) to Dorridge is 15 down

The 1827 was started from Snow Hill right time with the aforementioned train which was 153371 and 170630 on the back  :)

It might be one of the two or three units that had short spells up at Northern after their 323231 derailed and was unavaliable for use for about 18 months as there were two or three units that were being swapped around working for Northern during this time. Few years back now though.

It is just a member of staff playing about. They are quite easy to put anything up, and I have been past Soho with one showing Mumbai! I have a photo of that somewhere

To my knowledge no LM Trains go to Longbridge from Wolverhampton :) Most (if not all) head to Walsall the 16:50 ex Wolverhampton operates to Coventry :)
60 Birmingham - Cranes Park
72/72A Solihull Station - Chelmsley Wood
73 Solihull - Heartlands Hospital
X1 Birmingham - Coventry
X2 Birmingham - Solihull Station
A10 Solihull - Cranes Park / Chelmsley Wood

The 07:19 M-F ex Wolves goes to Four Oaks - don't think there are any that go down to Longbridge, that would require a reverse at New Street.
