LM class 150

[DarloRich]

A quick one - all 3 LM class 150 seem to be at Bletchley this evening:

One is on the fuel pad
One is dumped in the sidings U/S
One is in service

That must be a first!

Do you know what worked the 150s diagram between New St, Worcester and Hereford

I didn't know LM only had 3 x 150's on their books.
Where were the others distributed?
I saw 150107 at New street about 3 wks ago on an inbound from Hereford.

[Class172]

I didn't know LM only had 3 x 150's on their books.

Following the arrival of the 172s a few years ago, LM retained units 150105/7/9 for use on the Marston Vale and Hereford services.

no idea - I assume something somewhere was short formed to cover for it

The reason I was asking is because it couldn't be a 150 if they were all at Bletchley.

The rest of the former London Midland 150 fleet was cascaded to Northern and First Great Western following the arrival of the class 172s, with the three car hybrid units being reformed back into their original two carriage formations.

I understand that. I assume a 153 covered or a 153 ran alone somewhere else to release a 170/172 ( Don't LM run 3 car 170/153 combos?)

I was hoping somebody with system access would come forward. They run 170+153 combos on Rugeley, Hereford and 1 on the Snow Hill route
