hogso Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Confirmation - no trains to/from Aston OR Witton at all on Sunday Please note that on Sunday 10 April we will again be operating a very limited service - although significantly better than in previous weeks - with trains only running on the following routes due to a shortage of drivers willing to work: Northampton to London Euston Blake Street to Redditch via Birmingham Stourbridge Town to Stourbridge Junction Worcester to Birmingham Snow Hill Crewe to Liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them run about every 20 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 So are the trains running from Lichfield to Aston then turning around? :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted April 8, 2011 Administrator Share Posted April 8, 2011 As this is for maintenance work, I guess they scheduled it before Sky moved it to Sunday. Annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said its due to a shortage of drivers willing to work! How come its changed to 'maintenance work'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Does anyone know which bus I would get from New Street Station to VP then? Also, think I would make it back to New Street for 7:10pm on a bus after the match? Need to make my train back up to Liverpool. Think it leaves around 7:20pm. There is one an hour later but I'm working the next day and would prefer to get the earlier one... Also, does anyone know why Trainline are still showing some trains going to Aston? Like the 13:06 one here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadoftrinity Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 The trains are showing up fine on Trainline. Are things ok now? Nope, it will be a reduced services. Do not trust trainline. It's down to a Union dispute with drivers, basically they are not contracted to work Sunday's, London Midland tried to cut their double time, the drivers told them to **** off. I got the train on the Sunday the other week and they were just every hour. Your best bet would be to phone centro, you can get through directly on 01212002700.

briggaman Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 That doesn't sound too good to be honest. May give that number a ring tomorrow. If that falls through, what (and where) are the best buses to get to VP from New Street Station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
