I live a stones throw from the station, and class 9 is right, they’re regularly used by freight trains, i have also been sat on a XC service on platform 1, which was sat waiting for a while due to a medical issue, the following xc service was allowed to pass using the outside lines.
Last night I was waiting at Bham New Street for the normal 22:03 service to Nottingham, stood on platform 10A next to the usual class 170, then all of a sudden everyone crosses the platform, to platform 11A and dives on a Voyager which was sitting there that made a 22:00 service to Derby...
This makes sense as i've been on the 17.39 Birmingham to Derby before, which was a 220, and noticed the rear coach was locked out of use, pressume this was for Willington having a short platform and the 220 not having SDO.
yes theres parking on pride park side of the station, ticket given at the barrier when entering the car park, as you enter the building you'll see the parking pay machines, and the train ticket machines, both (car park & train) machines take cash and card payments, at the top of the stairs...
