RE: London Midland
Much chaos this afternon on Liverpool-Birmingham services caused by trees down and flooding. At one point three southbound trains standing in the Heamies area. Can't be certain what was down to this and what to crew shortages, which seem to have seen a resurgence this week, but the 15.04, 15.34, 17.04, 18.04, 18.34, 19.12 ex Lime St were all cape, as presumably will be the 22.34 - anyone see or hear of buses vice? |

Vivarail 230001 has been moved by road to Tyseley LMD for crew training/ mileage accumulation. --- Thanks Ant Check out my YouTube Channel updated regularly at 18:00 Most Days; https://www.youtube.com/c/apdmediatransp...nel/videos Check out my content on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter/albums Updated recently with a trip down to the South Coast in 2021 & Railway Pictures from 2017. |

RE: London Midland
The fire could not have been too serious as 230001 was cleared to return to Tyseley under its own power. All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles |

A feature of the D-Train is the diesel engines can easily be removed and inserted (like batteries in to an electronic device) meaning the fire damaged engine was replaced before the train returned. However, if the RAIB decide having that feature directly caused the fire then it could be all over for the D-Train. |

RE: London Midland
It also probably means that london Midland would have to go back to the drawing board to find ways of increasing capacity on the Coventry - Nuneaton service. Oh just look at all those delay minutes that added up for all the other companies that use the line between Leamington Spa and Coventry. |
