It's now booked to run Thursdays and Fridays on the same out and back and it should be available at short notice to cover for fleet shortfalls.

Doesn't sound too promising according to Twitter (edited feed):

I thought it was odd getting on an art deco @VirginTrains train with no wifi or seat reservations. Shouldn't be surprised its broken down.

Which service are you on?

19.03 Euston -> Birmingham

Yes. I'm aware we haven't stopped for the fun of it. Why are we on an old train?

This is the train that is booked for these services on a Thursday & Friday. This is part of our new timetable.

We're going to break down travelling from the capital to our second city every Thursday and Friday? Shocking.

1G40 got as far as Willesden before sitting down. RTT link. Delayed for about 40 minutes, arrived at Birmingham International 53 down and cancelled there.

Get a DCR driver :woohoo:

Perhaps attempting a run round of the loco at new street was asking too much. Can VT drivers remember how to throw a shackle?

Yes they can. All the drivers do the training on a rotation.

There is a booked training run, Wembley I.C.D. to Northampton, to keep everyone fresh.
