LM Class 172/150

[heart-of-wessex]

Hello again,

I know I've been bugging about the LM Hereford 150 services for a timetable, but I am working on the Dorridge/Stratford/Whitlocks End stuff now.

As the TT I'm doing is set in August/early September 2011, does anyone know what 172/2 and 172/3s were available for traffic at that time? By that I mean fare-paying services, I'm not interested which ones are available for testing or training runs.

Also would anyone by any chance still have a list of the 150s that were out in August/September time too please?
I would use my NREA book but I don't know what 3 car ones were broken into 2 cars and what numbers were around then :?


Any help appreciated!


Cheers,

James.

All services until the 5th September were operated by 150s, after then 172s were gradually introduced onto diagrams (2 at first, then 5 and so on…).

Even though 150's were working all Snow Hill Line trains until Monday 5th Sept, at least 150108 & 126 had already moved to FGW and were off LM books around early July I think.

As I commute daily into Birmingham and the first occasions I travelled on the former 150009 & 017 as 2-cars were on the following dates:

150109 15-Sep-11
150117 21-Sep-11

I also saw 150107 for the first time as a 2-car on test around the middle of September.

Hope that helps a little.
