Class 220 on Notts - Cardiff Service

[Oscar46016]

Just seen 220031 roll in on IV07 10:07 Notts Cardiff - are we likely to see more on these services or is it just a one off?

No Senior Conductor Available so a Birmingham TM is working it with a Voyager. 1M68 1345 CDF-NOT will have a set swap back to a 170 at New St.

Ah, ok thanks.

Surprised the RMT aren't objecting considering XC Senior Conductors are currently in dispute.

I don't think there is anything to object to..

Out of interest can 220s call at Wilnecote in Staffordshire? Or is it 2 or 3 car SDO there?

Yes they do if they are replacing a class 170 on a stopping service. If you are lucky 1739 bhm-dby sometimes can be a 220 vice a 170. Odd Nottingham-Cardiff trains.

Only if it is a 4 car. A five car doesn't fit and cannot call.
