Arriva Trains Wales 142 at Kingsbury Junction

[Kingsbury Jn.]

I have just spotted an Arriva Trains Wales 142 passing south through Kingsbury on the Derby- Birmingham line. Anyone know why? In addition, GBRf 66703 was held on red for about 25 mins, waiting to enter Kingsbury sidings and on to Birch Coppice. Bit of a delay on trains towards Tamworth atm.

That'll be XC's Edinburgh-Plymouth. ATW must have wanted an HST on the Valley Lines again.

We normally have a diet of XC HSTs', Voyagers & 170s' plus a daily empty (ECS?) Virgin Super Voyager around 0600, heading south. i could tell it was none of these by the sound. Bit sad, isn't it!

Thank you for that. Didn't think it was a new service!
