150235, AW 11.06 Birmingham New Street-Holyhead (1D13, 4E), Wolverhampton station The next train of our West Midlands foray arrives at Wolverhampton station. We travelled aboard a crowded 11.06 Birmingham New Street to Holyhead as far as Shewsbury being worked by 150235 and another one attached to the rear. The elderly unit, dating from 1984, arrives at Wolverhampton still wearing its ATW livery. Boarding one of these trains now feels like travelling in a previous era with more modern trains now being so much better in every respect. This service was crowded and felt a little uncomfortable as the COVID guidelines were difficult to adhere to. Andy and I were forced to sit in the small single seats adjacent to the lavatory. Interestingly, the WiFi worked well throughout the journey but it was still somewhat of a relief to reach Shrewsbury and I certainly would not have fancied continuing on to its destination all the way to Anglesey!
