@WestMidRailway Just a point of note, at ERD the advertised BHM bound RRBS stop is by the LTV platform, and LTV bound RRBS stop is by the usual BHM bound platform, so probably confuses ppl's natural sense of direction🤔

[Dave @DaveLeng2]

@WestMidRailway Alot of confusion at ERD as to the direction of RRBS, some rolling up on the opposite side of the road as to what is advertised. Also, it'd be helpful if the destination was displayed on buses rather than just "Rail Replacement." Ppl trying to join bus to BHM but going to FOK!

@WestMidRailway Hi, about 1015-1030 this morning, the driver on the FOK bound bus, in the incorrect direction stop, said some companies using one stop, others using other direction!

First Group says it will use five six-car Class 222 diesel trains on its new open access London-Stirling service running on the West Coast Main Line. It says it will consider electric or bi-mode stock if it secures a track access deal beyond 2030.

@nxwestmidlands Good morning, can you please advise your bus drivers of the rail ticket acceptance, I've just travelled in to Bhm on the X4 service, and the driver was unaware of this!
