Yeah, that one has always been a problem. Marylebone is a much busier station than Snow Hill at that time of day though (and most people on the 17:10 seem to be travelling to somewhere between Solihull and Warwick) so the decision was taken to use rolling stock to strengthen services coming out of the capital.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
