In superb late afternoon sunshine, 172342 leaves Birmingham Moor Street with the 14.12 Worcester Shrub Hill to Dorridge working. London Midland has fifteen class 172/3 units for use exclusively on the cross-Birmingham Snow Hill routes. Along with a smaller number of 172/2s, they have gangway connections unlike the 172/1s and a further few 172/2s operated by Chiltern.
