Chiltern 'Silver' Sets

[shaun]

Hi.

I've read that these are going to be running the peaks from/to Kidderminster from December, can anybody confirm whether the increased usage will still include one (or more) 'all day' set between Moor Street and London? Also are there any plans to use them on Moor Street - London services at weekends?


Thanks.

I believe they do intend to use them at a weekend as well as the following during the week:

Smashing, thank you! Shame the evening Birmingham - Marylebone service is at 1853 which means i'd have a long wait, but glad to see they're running all over the shop 7 days a week now. This is bound to make a fair few people run away from Virgin!

Are the silver sets still running the two daily services each way currently marked in the timetable or are there any extras running (Monday-Friday)? Also, is there any way at all of checking if it'll be a power door set?

Although entirely unrelated to Chiltern's silver trains is there a reason why line speeds are all of a sudden limited to 30mph on approach to London from Neasden Junction to St John's wood tunnel? It's very frustrating when trying to quickly commute to University when on the verge of becoming late?

 

[KiddyKid]

No 30mph restriction along here, permanent speed restriction is 70mph reducing to 50mph at Willesden Green. During peak times this is a intensively used section of track its probably simply down to your train following another.

Thanks for those - ill have to pop down at some point. Are there any set diagrams for them at weekends? Must admit I've only ever seen them in the sidings when I've been over that way at weekends.

Not at the moment, but there may well be FROM December.
