Lichfield Question - what did I see?

[baz2277]

Hi,

I saw what looked like one of the Greater Anglia new trains running through Lichfield on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week at 12.13pm - would anyone have any idea what this actually was? Can't seem to identify on realtime but there are a few 'ZZ' codes around then.

I've seen these a few times (I can see a good view of the West Coast Mainline from Curborough)

Anyone got any ideas??

Also for those in the Lichfield area, there is talk of a special train from Lichfield to the Derbyshire Dales to raise awareness of the reopening of a station at Alrewas - a HST is on the poster and it's suggesting 1980's rolling stock - could this be the blue pullman hst i've seen??

Thanks

Some of the new Greater Anglia stock has been doing mileage accumulation runs on the WCML. Saw one at Northampton a few weeks ago.

I believe the Class 720 testing is running under 5Qxx headcodes. They did run to Crewe for a while:

The units were probably 720522/554, those days.
The train to Buxton will be a 47 and refurbished mark 3’s, if it runs.
