This train was running via Leamington, so it seemed like a good excuse for a few hours out! Chiltern Trains now have some loco-hauled sets running to/from Birmingham Moor Street and a training run from Stourbridge was also expected, so more locos to see, plus the usual freight trains. On the way there I changed trains at Solihull, and was surprised to see one of the new Class 172 DMUs pass through – the photo of that appears in another album (next update)
47804 was hauling the train (47826 at rear)
