The rain seems to have eased a little into a

drizzle at Bloxwich station. 350236 arrives with the 14.19 Rugeley Trent Valley to Euston service, a train that will travel via Birmingham New Street where it will join another unit and reverse to continue its journey via the conventional route down the WCML. The wiring of the Chase Line, as it is referred to, was completed in April 2019 with the new service pattern commencing from the May timetable change. The intensity of services on this line, one that was seen as a bit of a backwater for many years, was a pleasant surprise.
