Express trains on the wycombe line?

Amazingly, your knowledge of geography is even worse than your
knowledge of


engineering or railways!

Oh sorry, I forgot, you think its a main line to birmingham. Yes, why
would
anyone get a train direct from euston to brum on the WCML when they
could
fart around getting there from paddington going via wycombe and
bicester
at a leisurely pace in a diesel train.

Paddington?!?!?


Yes, why would anyone get a train direct from Marylebone when they could
fart around at West Ealing waiting for a parliamentary to West Ruislip?


Oh , Marylebone , even better! A nice leisurely tour going west first!
Didn't know chiltern went to brum but looking at the 1:50 it takes to get
there I'm not surprised they don't bother advertising the service.


But they do

they focus on the much cheaper fares that you can get going that way

And in case you haven't noticed, starting at Padd requires a leisurely tour
going West, and it is a service that used to exist
