172331, LN 08.00 Birmingham New Street-Hereford (1V22, 10L), Birmingham New Street station
Sheltering from the rain at New Street station I managed
a photograph of West Midlands Trains' 172331 that was preparing to leave working the 1V22 08.00 service to Hereford. It is sobering to think that the Class 172 Turbostars have been in operation now for thirteen years! I still consider them to be the 'new kids on the block' whenever I see them around the West Midlands!
