390s on the West Coast Main Line

They seem to be closing Coleshill Heath Road and the M42/M6 a lot still though (and the A446 by Water Orton) so there's still a lot going on - the road closures are continuing to grate though...

Is the alignment going over the A45 or under the A45 at the southern end of Interchange?

Interesting, thanks both

Can anyone confirm what route the Highlander will take through Birmingham and onward to Crewe when it stops at Birmingham International? Will it route via New Street without stopping?

Drove past it yesterday for the first time in months. The bridge itself looks to be finished (just needs tarmac on it) but there's still a lot of work to do to route traffic over it both sides of the new bridge. The new traffic island by the truck stop needs to be started, but they seem to be...

I was lucky enough to go to Cheltenham to see Guenther Steiner Unfiltered with my son, and paid extra for the Meet & Greet (there was probably 15 of us) where we got our hard-back copy of his book signed and a photo as well. He was a very nice bloke, and one of the things he agreed on as that...

It might help if I explained my choices. I selected an Open Return from BHI to East Croydon and the price quoted was £200. The journey was BHI-EUS, Tube to Victoria, Victoria to East Croydon. No mention of any Travel Card options or whether the ticket was valid on the Tube
