LNWR WCML Stopping Services Diagrams booked with 8 coaches

[Stephen Lee]

Since the December Timetable change I can see some of the LNWR WCML stopping services have extra 4 coaches, making 8 coaches diagrams introduced in LNWR WCML stopping services.
So I was wondering does anyone have diagrams of LNWR WCML stopping services booked Class 350 x2?
And also in the stations where the WCML stopping services called at, which stations have short platforms which passengers are advised to board the front 4 carriages only?

You can work out pretty much all of them by looking at the Euston-Northampton timetable leaflet (also online as a PDF) which shows train lengths.

Bushey down fast line platform is the only really short one; Wembley Central's take 7 cars, everything else 12 cars, I think

North of Rugby there's a few. I think Rugeley TV is one.

Will these all go down to 4 next week as demand for travel reaches a low?

I think with the reduced timetable it will be sensible to operate all services as 8-car for maximum distancing.

Have LNR got the resources (even if it means a fair few empty moves Sunday evening) to reduce all 12s to 8, but strengthen all 4s to 8? Obviously a few lines such as those around Birmingham won't take 8, but I'm focusing on the Trent Valley route and to Birmingham as per the thread title.

Yes. Almost all of the Saturday and Sunday timetable south of Northampton is now 8. That it wasn't in LM days was purely because they were too tight to get the 350/2s out to play.

From London don't they split at Northampton or New Street anyway?

Not anything going up the Trent Valley, as they don't go to either of those stations!
