I've heard on the grapevine that it is the Chiltern bubble 121020 (or is that 120?) that is going up

Whether this is the case, and why/how it is happening I am hoping someone can shed further light on

Passed Stafford on the return 50 odd minutes up!

I have seen again on the grapevine that it was the Chiltern Bubble - still clueless what they are doing with it!

YouTube video here confirming it was 121020 that was heading up.

It's being used for route learning (Birmingham - Crewe) and will be running for three weeks as far as I am aware.

 

[oversteer]

Route learning for future LHCS from Marylebone to Crewe via Birmingham?

 

[Cherry_Picker]

Don't hold your breath on that one.

 

[6Gman]

So who's route learning?

And why?

And why a Bubble?
