Quit moaning! The 172's are here to stay

I don't understand how you can complain about a rattle on a 172 when you can put up with the noise a 150 makes in comparison!

172337 failed today at stourbridge which was suppose to be the 16:39 to forgate street, it was taken out of service at around 17:20 after been stationary at stourbridge causing the line to be blocked, as a result there was no worcester service from 16:09 till around 17:50. On the other hand...

Saw a 172 for the first time whilst waiting for a train at smethwick today, it whispered through, they are so quiet!

150 009 is now made up of 2 150/2 and a 150/1 meaning it is a 3 carriage train with a corridor connection at 1 end, has this always been like this?

Why are London Midland testing 172's in Gloucester? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnuGOuIafik&NR=1

Just got off a cramped hot 150. It was 10minutes late at snow hill meaning that more passengers had time to build up. Bring on the 172's with there AC!.
