VWC 90's

[andrewmay]

Hi all,

After that pendo got smashed the other day, I've heard about another 90 set thats out to cover it. Does anyone know which this is and what it's timings are?

Also, I was out in Birmingham on monday to catch the arrival of the ususal 90 diagram, the 16:51 from Euston and the 19:00 return but it was cancelled. Is this cus the the 90's failed?

On Monday the 90 was cancelled due to trackside problems I think. The 90 is still only doing the usual diagram at the moment

Pendo got smashed?

Concrete slab dropped on the roof

Bit of a dent in it. I'm guessing it will be on the Early morning Coventry and back trip or is that still covered by the other 90? Or the 17:50 is it to Brum and back that one return on a pendo?

Crikey! Any idea which unit it was?

The 90 diagram is still 06:20 Rugby to Euston, 16:50 Euston to New Street and 19:00 New Street to Euston.

If there is low Pendolino availability then the 08:10 Euston to New Street and 10:00 New Street to Euston has been the 90 but this has only happened on a few occasions.

Indeed, and if the 0810 EUS-BHM and the 1000 BHM-EUS is the 90 the 1650 EUS-BHM and rtn have to be a pendo due to set mileage.

This second diagram that someone mentioned doesn't sound likely to me, they havn't got the stock for starters.

Second diagram? What's this all about then?

As for stock, there's the dreadful DVT and an RFO all spare plus a rather hellfire Intercity BG at The Palace plus something else even more outrageous on its way apparently. What more do you need?

Ta for all the info, it seems as if I just got confused about there being 2 sets. The 90 only ended up doing an extra run last Sunday where it covered for 390051. It worked the 1G18 15.27 Euston - Brum and the 1B18 18.00 Brum - Euston.

Apologies for anybody getting a bit over excited about another 90 set Although I can't imagine that happening a great deal tbh

Won't ETS have some spare soon when HT finally have their 180's going, the tube can flap on the West Coast rather than the East hock:
