Avanti have emailed today to say they’ve cancelled the last train tomorrow from Euston to Birmingham, which we were due to travel on. We now have to cut our plans short to ensure we get the one before, but if Avanti had not sent the email and we turned up for our original departure time, what...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/camp-hill-line-progress-updates.283474/ The stations opened today, getting lots of use already! At Kings Norton, the trains that go via the new stations don’t have the platform number displayed against them on the departure...

Does anyone know the extent of the signalling problems near Shrewsbury that started yesterday afternoon and extended into today resulting in no trains running between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury. Been commuting to Shrewsbury and back this week for an event. Glad not to have got caught up in...

I've mentioned it before here but why are there still no valid fares for a journey between Wolverhampton and Walsall or vice versa changing at Tame Bridge Parkway which can be significantly quicker than via Birmingham New Street.

If your train has been removed from the timetable due to industrial action but you hold an advance ticket for it, what are your rights if you need to travel and therefore a refund and not travelling is not an option. Does the operator still have an obligation to get you to your destination...

This journey (or the reverse) with a change a Tame Bridge Parkway is half the time of via Birmingham, but can only be done hourly. An anytime day single from Wolverhampton to Walsall (not via Birmingham) is £3.40; (via Birmingham is £6.00) Why does the National Rail Enquires website tell me I...

Hi all, not posted here for a long time but in need of some advice and appreciate that train companies have yet to determine their strike day timetables. I have an advance to travel from Liverpool to Birmingham on Friday 12 May bought before strike action was announced for that date. I can't...

Hi all After some advice on AWC DR as I expect my two claims put in for travel yesterday to be automatically rejected, annoyingly there is nowhere to submit any notes on the form. Journey 1: 1810 Birmingham New Street to London Euston The train ran roughly on time but was short formed of a...

I noticed online that the Walsall stoppers weren't using platform 5 at Wolverhampton and according to RTT nothing has used P5 since 2W04 arrived there yesterday morning and what I assume would have been the next train 2A07 was cancelled. So has this train been stuck in platform 5 all weekend?

Am I right in thinking Virgin Trains handed over operation of Wolverhampton to West Midlands Trains at the weekend? Has there been any rebranding on site and are staff in new uniforms?

Are there any diagrams that are now a combination of LNWR and WMR services?

Virgin Trains automatically pay Delay Repay if you booked an advance ticket on their own website. Has anyone else had trouble with this? They are supposed to email within one working day of the delay to tell you they are going to credit the card you booked with, but I was delayed on 9 March...

Can anyone shed any light on what might have happened here? https://twitter.com/thetomstokes/status/626862294002237440 Subsequent tweets suggest this was a southbound train. As far as I'm aware, all of the through platforms at Wolves are more than long enough to accommodate 11-car trains.

Virgin Trains printed timetable shows at 2230 and 2330 departure from Euston to Wolverhampton on Monday-Friday evenings. I have a season ticket I intended to use on the former of these services on 1st June, from Birmingham International (0021 on 2/6) to Wolverhampton. I thought I'd check the...

Simple question that I hope has a simple answer I have bought an Off Peak Day Return from Birmingham to Nottingham. If I decide to stay longer than a day in Nottingham can the ticket be excessed to an Off Peak Return?

So I'm a commuter using Birmingham New Street and thought I'd share this with the forum and see if anyone has anything to comment or any insight. In the last month I've tweeted the Network Rail account twelve times (so around three times a week) with examples of escalators not working or...

This morning I was on the 0911 Wolverhampton - Birmingham International train (0514 Holyhead - BHI).. class 158 On arrival at Birmingham New Street, platform 2B, we overheard on the PA a conversation between the driver and conductor that went something along the lines of "I don't think we're...

Hi everyone I am looking to travel to Aberdeen on the first weekend in February, arriving on the Friday and returning on the Sunday. At the moment I have got the options down to the following, but wondered if anyone might be able to help me get it any cheaper (I can see that VT advances for...

On Thursday evening I boarded the 2049 from Wolverhampton to Manchester Piccadilly mistakenly assuming it called at Stafford (all other XC to Manchester trains Mon-Sat do). I think the guard was sympathetic (or not bothered about an excess) and I got away with paying for the fare from Stoke on...

The tannoy a Birmingham New Street has just been announcing "Attention please, staff call 100" on repeat. Does anyone know what this means?
