LM 153 workings

[Bodie]

At the end of the month I am going on a day trip to the West Midlands on a West Midlands Day Ranger.
It will a weekday.

One of my main targets is to see my remaining LM 153's for sight. I need 50% - four of eight.

I will definitely be doing Coventry to Nuneaton. That is just one runaway carriage on that route though.

What are my best options for getting more 153's seen and thus improving my chances of clearing them all.
Are there any more booked 153 services?

From the frequency requested diagrams page I know an early Hereford to New Street train is a 150+153 combo.
Sadly I have advances booked and won't be in the area to see that working.
Does the 153 head to sit at the depot all day upon arrival?

Thanks

Bodie

Have a trip past Tyseley depot. Coventry to Nuneaton is a 153 and I know a 153 + 170 usually appear at Moor Street mid afternoon. Someone will know the diagrams

There is a previous thread here:-

Briefly:-

1 or 2 on Coventry to Nunueaton
Attached to 170s on New St to Rugeley and Hereford
1 attached to 170 on Snow Hill lines between Worcester and Whitlocks End morning and afternoon
1 on Marston Vale Line

In the afternoon I think it used to be:

1 on the Marston Vale
1 or 2 on Coventry to Nuneaton
1 on 1612, 1812 to Rugeley (attached to 170/5)
1 on 1512, 1712 to Rugeley (attached to 170/5)
1 on 1549, 1919 to Hereford (attached to 170/5)
1 on 1613 off Worcester Foregate Street to Dorridge (RTT will show rest of diagram) (attached to 170/6)
1 or 2 stabled at Tyseley

Off course, things are subject to change.

It's usually 1 153 at Nuneaton every day except Sunday, where it is usually formed of 2.
