London Midland Trains

[Sh4318]

Based on puerly what I have seen before and photographed I did hear though from a driver on the Snow Hill that the 1827 off Birmingham Moor Street should be 153/170/150 but never had that before but the driver may be spinning me a yarn

The 1827 ex Moor Street is always 153 + 170/6. No 150s on the Snow Hill line unfortunately
