With the recent return of modern trains (2012?), a nasty incident was reported on the northern approaches into Birmingham Snow Hill. A London bound Wrexham and Shropshire express derailed on its approach into Platform 3. No casualties were reported and the Head Gangster has dismissed questions about poor track quality! The reason for the derailment remains under investigation.

To increase seating capacity, trials of a NSW double decker Tangara EMU were undertaken on Banbury Connections earlier this year. The Tangara ran superbly under battery power as it navigated the line between Shrewsbury and Chester General. Banbury Connections management will make a decision about introducing double decker trains to bolster capacity on the railway later in the year. A couple of videos and photos of the test run can be found below.    |
