323207, LM 10.18 Birmingham Iinternational-Birmingham New Street (2I18), Birmingham International station Inside the gloomy but functional interior of Birmingham International station, 323207 is seen waiting to depart as the 10.18 all-stations stopper to Birmingham New Street. I think that the guard may be a little underdressed as it was a chilly November day! Keywords: 323207 10.18 Birmingham Iinternational-Birmingham New Street 2I18 Birmingham International station
221114, VT 05.50 Glasgow Central-London Euston (9M48), Birmingham International station The driver of 221114 takes some air as his charge pauses at Birmingham International. His train the 9G48 05.50 Glasgow Central to Euston has just arrived worked by 222114. The time will (and not before time) when we should see an end to these dreadful diesels running under the wires on services such as this.

350232, LM 09.35 Northampton-Birmingham New Street (2Y08), Birmingham International station London Midland's 350232 drifts into Birmingham International station working the 2Y08 09.35 Northampton to Birmingham New Street. London Midland introduced 'split' services this year with four-car sets operating such services as this joining with another one at New Street with the combined service then running forward to Crewe. Unfortunately, this has not been a resounding success with overcrowding on the four cars sets and delays to services causing havoc at New Street and beyond!
