London Midland Class 350 Desiro Diagrams

[blakrob]

Hi,

1) Does anyone know which evening peak departures (3pm to 7pm) from Euston to Northampton/Birmingham/Rugby/Crewe are operated by Class 350s (rather than the 321s).

2) Are all Euston to Crewe services operated by desiros?

I've seen a previous thread on this but not for the times that I would like.

Thanks.

I think all LM services between Euston and Bham or Euston and Crewe are operated by 350s

1746 off Euston is the only 321 operated service beyond M.Keynes at those times, everything else is 350s. The only 321s north of Northampton are two diagrams which work in to New St (this may end on Friday though.)

321 diagrams can be found on the Leighton Logs just scroll down a bit to find the linked page.

Almost all LM services are operated by Desiros now. Means I don't have to plan my journeys to avoid the horrid 321s any more!

So the first off-peak from Tring is still 321... hmph! Never mind, I'll just always make a habit of heading for the xx50 from Hemel, instead of xx35, which gets in 6 mins behind anyway.

Still glad to see they're almost gone. I doubt I would be minding so much if Silverlink had bothered to give them a refurb.

Nope, not all are Desiros. 321s are the only trains running St Albans Abbey services. Today taxis are replacing trains due to electrical supply problems. 321417 is stranded on the line, which should be up-and-running again soon.

Trouble with that is it's from Birmingham, meaning that if LM have kept it as a four-car (the 0950, for example), it's heaving by the time it gets to Hemel.

That's exactly the one I' referring to. It's been upgraded to 8 now, 4 are added at Northampton. All xx50 from Hemel are now meant to be like that.

Oh, where's your sense of nostalgia?

Oh really? Excellent! So the first 4 off-peak trains now go:

0935: 12
0950: 8
1005: 12
1018: 12

Pretty good, that.

Don't forget the xx43, handy one that!
