It seems a long time ago that I had my first ride on one of the new trains (nearly 2 months!) but since then I have travelled on many of them. On the first day, 172339 & 172345 were the units in service. The timings were quite convenient for me, as I was able to see both units in a short space of time before travelling to Cradley Heath to catch 172339 into Birmingham, but whilst waiting I saw a 3rd unit, 172341, on a training run. Once in Birmingham, I didn’t have too long to wait to return home on 172345.
172339 is seen next to Class 150 150010
