The reason one of the Marston Vale services is a 150 is because a single 153 cannot cope with a crowd of school children on one trip

The only difference is, it's going to have to cope unless some platform extensions happen. Whether LM or anyone else like it, they're losing the 150s and getting 153s instead.

Pretty sure there would be problems with extending the platforms due to level crossings and signal posts at stations

Also depends on whether FGW actually release the 153s before the end of the current LM franchise.

Their internal cascades are running behind schedule due to late electrification.

LM aren't afraid to do short term hires even this late on in the franchise as shown by the arrival of two more 319s covering for the two damaged 350s

They got it right this morning for a change.  The 724 from Landywood was 4 cars and the one after. So it can be done!

[Bob]

Looks like the 5.42 is gonna be 2 car tonight...jesus

Not sure if it's been mentioned but the 323 I'm on has information screens fitted in telling you stuff like where the train is going and adverts . Is this permanent or part of a trial?

The Hereford line??

[Cheese]

The Hereford line??

The 1819 Worcester Shrub Hill from New Street is a 150 every day, think it does the 1449 New Street to Hereford and 1639 return before working the 1819.

[Bob]

Does it run on Saturday? Or is it 170
