Hi, below I have compiled the start and end times for the 6 car formation(s) running on Birmingham Cross-City Line route in TSW3. Updated: I have added the second consist which was unknown to me! Thank you for pointing it out owenroser19 and kobberstad33 As usual, if you see any errors or there are additional 6-car services operating on the route, let me know! Services are listed in order of start time. The departure time is a minute or two after. You have plenty of time to change cab and setup the train! In (parentheses) is the timetable menu suggested end time for when the schedule does not provide one. 2R99 Birmingham New Street to Redditch 05:42 - 06:29 Next: 2U06 Redditch to Four Oaks 5P07 Birmingham New Street to Lichfield Trent Valley 05:52 - (06:11) Next: 2R25 Lichfield Trent Valley to Redditch 2R25 Lichfield Trent Valley to Redditch 06:17 - 07:41 Next: 2P15 Redditch to Lichfield Trent Valley 2U06 Redditch to Four Oaks 06:30 - 07:41 Next: 2O14 Four Oaks to Bromsgrove 2O14 Four Oaks to Bromsgrove 07:44 - 08:46 Next: 2P20 Bromsgrove to Lichfield Trent Valley 2P15 Redditch to Lichfield Trent Valley 07:53 - 09:14 Next: 2R25 Lichfield Trent Valley to Redditch 2P20 Bromsgrove to Lichfield Trent Valley 08:49 - 10:06 Next: 2O30 Lichfield Trent Valley to Bromsgrove 2R25 Lichfield Trent Valley to Redditch 09:18 - 10:41 Next: 2P33 Redditch to Lichfield Trent Valley 2O30 Lichfield Trent Valley to Bromsgrove 10:08 - 11:25 Next: 2P36 Bromsgrove to Lichfield Trent Valley 2P33 Redditch to Lichfield Trent Valley 10:53 - 12:14 Next: 2R43 Lichfield Trent Valley to Redditch 2P36 Bromsgrove to Lichfield Trent Valley 11:27 - 12:44 Next: 2O46 Lichfield Trent Valley to Bromsgrove 2R43 Lichfield Trent Valley to Redditch 12:18 - 13:42 Next: 2P51 Redditch to Lichfield Trent Valley 2O46 Lichfield Trent Valley to Bromsgrove 12:48 - 14:08 Next: 2U52 Bromsgrove to Four Oaks 2P51 Redditch to Lichfield Trent Valley 13:53 - 15:14 Next: 2R61 Lichfield Trent Valley to Redditch 2U52 Bromsgrove to Four Oaks 14:10 - 15:11 Next: 2R59 Four Oaks to Redditch 2R59 Four Oaks to Redditch 15:14 - 16:21 Next: 2U67 Redditch to Four Oaks 2R61 Lichfield Trent Valley to Redditch 15:18 - 16:41 Next: 2P69 Redditch to Lichfield Trent Valley 2U67 Redditch to Four Oaks 16:30 - 17:41 Next: 2O74 Four Oaks to Bromsgrove 2P69 Redditch to Lichfield Trent Valley 16:53 - 18:16 Next: 2R79 Lichfield Trent Valley to Redditch 2O74 Four Oaks to Bromsgrove 17:44 - 18:47 Next: 2P80 Bromsgrove to Lichfield Trent Valley 2R79 Lichfield Trent Valley to Redditch 18:18 - 19:41 Next: 2L87 Redditch to Lichfield City Station 2P80 Bromsgrove to Lichfield Trent Valley 18:50 - 20:06 Next: 2R89 Lichfield Trent Valley to Redditch 2L87 Redditch to Lichfield City Station 19:53 - 21:11 Next: 2R93 Lichfield City Station to Redditch 2R89 Lichfield Trent Valley to Redditch 20:08 - 21:35 Next: 2L97 Redditch to Lichfield City Station 2R93 Lichfield City Station to Redditch 21:14 - 22:36 Next: 2U01 Redditch to Four Oaks 2L97 Redditch to Lichfield City Station 21:55 - 23:11 Next: 5G97 Lichfield City Station to Birmingham New Street 2U01 Redditch to Four Oaks 22:55 - 00:05 Next: 5G01 Four Oaks to Birmingham New Street 00:05 - (00:19) 5G97 Lichfield City Station to Birmingham New Street 23:13 - (23:35) 5G01 Four Oaks to Birmingham New Street 00:05 - (00:19)
I didn't realise they included 6-car services. Makes a change from Cathcart Circle and Great Western Express. They seem to be learning! This is good. Also I can't imagine how long it took you to get these services! Also those turnaround times seem really tight - is it just one 6 car consist on the entire route, with the rest being 3-car? How does a driver go to the other end of the train in such a short time?
Yes its 2, 6 cars train. 1218 from Lichfield Trent Valley to Redditch In real life they use 6 car trains for the entire timetable. Link: How Busy Is My Train? | Train Travel Info | West Midlands Railway I believe 578 seats is 6 cars train.
Those starting times are when the timetable triggers, not the departure times, so you get a bit longer than that. The minimum turnaround is around 5 minutes.
dont mean to bump an old thread, but i asked about this on discord. And waited...and waited, till it hit me! Check here! Thanks Cesiree!
