170535's (ex 635') centre car has already been handed over to XC. however it hasnt been added to an XC turbostar yet.

I believe they will be Colas class 66s?

it might be that the Cheltenham - Bromsgrove line is shut 1599579173 If anything it would be the Margam/ Llanwern - Round Oak/ Brierley Hill and return workings, indicating a block around Gloucester or Cheltenham.

Hi all, heard rumours last week of possible freight diverts between Hereford and Worcester via Malvern in a few weeks due to engineering works somewhere else. could anyone provide information? last time it happened was 2016 so driver training would be required I guess.

Thanks

I have been...
