Are extra trains stopping at Bordesley tomorrow (Sat 21st Jan) for the Birmingham v Preston game?

The WMR, National Rail & Realtime trains websites are only showing the weekly call by the Whitlocks End to Worcester FS service at 1356.

I've just had a look at this mornings NR CIF timetable data. As it currently stands, it looks like the only passenger call tomorrow is the weekly 13:56 from Whitlocks End to Worcester Forgate St. It wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility for some late notice changes, though.

In the event, Bordesley did enjoy a full set of extra matchday stops. Why these weren't posted in CIF and on other timetable websites till Saturday morning is a mystery to me. Were WMR worried that the game might be postponed perhaps?

I didn't actually go to St Andrews. I was paranoid about Kidderminster v Bradford being called off late in the day as the hard overnight frost and freezing fog weren't meant to clear till midday (and didn't, but the game survived). Kidderminster is on the same line as Bordesley and Birmingham v Preston was "plan B".

Bet you're glad you never ended up at St Andrews now, a rather dire result again...

Suspect it was just a delay in publishing them by Network Rail.
