@Tony Doesn't that need a barrier vehicle?

Seems it's been cancelled due to contractural exclusions, whatever that is!

It would do yes.
Realtime Trains does occasionally mix up the cancellation codes, although if it is correct then I have no idea what that means!

It did run, but they cancelled that original entry and entered another earlier one

For those looking for 323221, I've just seen it on the Aston Expressway heading towards Erdington attached to another 323.

I'll more than likely see it on the Wolves-Walsall eventually

Er, what was 323221 doing on the Aston Expressway?!?

I meant I was on a 904 on the Expressway and it passed me on the Cross City line.

According to the LM twitter new units are coming in the summer for the London - Birmingham line.

The Class 67's will be running again this Saturday on the Coventry-Nuneaton line if anyone wants to go for them. Should be the same workings as last time.

Looking forward to seeing what units these will be. :)

Also according to LM's Wikipedia Page All of Northern's Class 323's are moving to LM when the Arriva Rail North Franchise comes into force on 1st April 2016

The Class 67's will be running again this Saturday on the Coventry-Nuneaton line if anyone wants to go for them. Should be the same workings as last time.

I'm hoping to try and catch them this Saturday :)

Hi guys need your help.  I change jobs in three weeks and will be needing a monthly pass to and from Birmingham from Hednesford /Cannock. I want to pay direct debit but I'm assuming I'll have to buy the first one cash?  Which pass do I need and how much and can I buy the first one from walsall train station  ( or anywhere else?) And pay cash and set up the DD there?

You need a Zone 1-5 nTrain ticket  (nNetwork is only valid to Bloxwich North). Walsall station will sort out either cash paymenbt or direct debit for you
