I'm off to fetch a 323 back from Crewe LNWR shortly. It's running as 5L01 and booked 18.30 departure from  Crewe if any one is interested in viewing it. I will update the info if things change.

@1707 has it been for tyre turning?

This Sunday (28th February) London Midland are hiring in 6 Mk2 carriages from Riviera Trains and two locomotives from DBS (presumably class 67s) to run between Nuneaton and Coventry calling only at the Stadium station for the Wasps Rugby match

See trains can stop there on match days despite the press reports!

Nice to see loco hauled trains on LM services again!
