Does anyone know of any train services which take the route from Perry Barr North Jct (B'ham to Walsall line), via Perry Barr West Jct and Hamstead Tunnel to Soho Jct (B'ham to Wolverhampton line)?

The LM services (hourly) from Rugeley TV (i.e. trains from Walsall not serving Duddeston)?
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
To Soho E Jn and Soho S Jn, no passenger trains use the North Curve (E Jn to N Jn) at Soho, any service ex-Walsall that doesn't call at Aston etc are the services via the junctions - the line is in regular (hourly) use: looks like the xx07 and xx39 services off New St - UNTIL 11 DECEMBER ONLY weeksdays off -peak

Soho East Jct to Soho North Jct is used when there is a problem immediately north of New St. Trains from New St depart south, and the Wolves Class 1 services run from International direct to Sandwell & Dudley.

It is also used by diverted services off the Trent when there is a Possession in the New St area and also on the Grand Jct, although this pairing is very rare it has been known.

I think one of the last Pendos at night goes New St, Soho, Perry Barr, Bescot, Portobello for route retention.
