Similar reason to why Stansted - Peterborough can run. It’s not connected to the wider network through Birmingham and is probably small enough that it can be managed by one person using manual processes remotely.

It’s well documented that the BBC once had a failure that took out all of their FM radio networks and it turned out their backup feeds were fed through the same room as the main feeds, and that room overheated.

XC apparently running buses between Birmingham and Leicester now https://x.com/crosscountryuk/status/2091526825381888187?s=46 I assume the Peterborough to Stansted Airport section can run because it’s not connected to the rest of the network because of the engineering work and therefore easier...

Took the 2123

That’s the one they’ve emailed to say has been cancelled

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...

That same map shows Pattingham as does the map on NXWM’s website. https://nxbus.co.uk/west-midlands/help-information/our-operating-area

Furthest west would be Pattingham on the 10A from Wolverhampton

Just been using the new Avanti website (as I have BLC discount otherwise would book elsewhere) and the only way I can get it to book a same day return journey on 1 August, using advances each way is to book them separately Firstly had the flexi season issue shown above Secondly it told me there...

You can book up to 4 tickets but the T&Cs imply that one of the travellers must be the cardholder as the card must be shown with the tickets.

Of course, lots of families with kids about but it helps that it's the school holidays too. I definitely think it will be well used for commuting from next week and that there will be calls to increase the frequency in the peaks.

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...

I’ve seen a picture (it’s on a friend’s personal instagram so I won’t share it here) that on the front of the trams it says Millennium Point.

Anytime day single or off peak day return from Kings Norton or Kings Heath (next stop either direction) is £3.10 You can do the whole distance of Willenhall to Pineapple Road for £3.50 single or return after 18:30. An off peak day return for the same trip is £7.40, anytime day single is £6.40 -...

You'd get there quicker waiting for an Edgbaston Village tram.

Hopefully they'll show as terminating at Millennium Point, since if you want to go to Edgbaston Village it'll be quicker to wait for the next one.

I was planning to take the 1626 from New Street but it’s been cancelled (along with the 1326 which presumably is the same unit and crew)

Imagine the stations will be used mostly by people who would otherwise get a bus or drive to Wolverhampton or Walsall for a train to Birmingham, or Bilston or Wednesbury for the tram.

Confirmed will open 19 March
