Except he said Saturdays...

I know. Fortunately I can read. I doubt that reliability is vastly different dependent on days in a weekend.

[Justin Tyme]

Are trains to Stratford On Avon normally reliable?

We're going for the day on Saturday.

Yes, they are normally reliable on Saturdays (and other days of the week as well).

Looking at Recent Time Trains for the last 4 Saturdays all journeys between Moor Street and Stratford-upon-Avon (either route) between 07:00 and 12:00 have operated and pretty much all of them have arrived on time, only a couple of journeys arrived between 2 and 5 mins late so a very reliable service from the looks of it.

Cheers folks

On the way back at the moment.

Couple of observations from today.

Putting our tickets through the barrier didnt work at both New Street & Moor Street, having to be waved through by staff.

1612 from New Street to Rugeley Tv, not stopping at the Bloxwich stations!

@Bob - Is that usual?

As we're only going as far as Walsall, it doesnt really matter, but wondered anyway.

[Bob]

Yes the 12 past is Saturday only limited stop

Just overhead an interesting conversation between the Stourbridge Shuttle driver & conductor and it would appear that London Midland have got mice or rats in the drivers rest room at Stourbridge Junction errr oh dear that is a shame...

That's nothing new, there have always been rats and mice around the station area, I think it is because there are no proper sewers on the station, just tanks that are emptied every Sunday.

Perhaps they should employ a few cats...

They could use some bardics if they've got any left lying around. A signalman I know from up north always use to have his bardic handy when he'd be working at a box with rats or mice

AUTUMN CASCADE IN THE PIPELINE FOR DMUs

A small cascade of Porterbrook owned DMU's involving GWR, London Midland and Northern is planned for later this year.
Five GWR Class 153's are scheduled to move to LM in the autumn to replace three Class 150/1's, which will move to Northern. The single car 153's are 153325/329/333/361/369, and are the only five leased from Porterbrook by GWR. They will replace 150105/107/109, which are the only members of the class leased by LM.

The 21:14 BHM-COV is usually 323. Think it comes off a Wolves-New St, not 100% sure though
