Haven’t seen one of these for ages, but managed to get to Acocks Green to see this one. I was watching the clouds come and go as I waited, but fortunately it was full sun as the train passed by. First time I had seen 47790 in Pullman livery.
Changing trains at Moor Street, I noticed one of the loco-hauled sets and realised the stock now had the Chiltern lettering & livery. So, took a few photos before continuing my journey.
Part of the lettering can be seen here
Just managed to get KC walked around the park & made it to the station to see 172333 pass through. Must say I’m looking forward to the introduction of these new trains in the coming weeks, as the old Class 150 units are very noisy and in this weather, very hot.
This run was for invited guests and was also mentioned on the local BBC news.
172333 at Old Hill
