Why is the 6.38 SO run between WVH and WSL direct? The line is a
frieght and diversion line which is heavily used.

Why not run the above service via BHM like all the other WVH - WSL
services?

Because in order to no run it, or to not run it direct, they'd have to
officially close that line to passenger traffic. Avoiding this is the main
purpose of most current 'parly' trains.
