Default GOB Class 172s

Silverlink had 8 of them, which left two spare every day. AIUI, in

Trains units for Bedford-Bletchley.


They're using Network West Midlands-branded ones from Brum. This is
probably appreciated by the passengers, as they're in far better
condition than the ones that had been around the Goblin, but that has
resulted in slightly reduced reliability as if one fails they've got
to wait for another one to come down from Brum, meaning that at least
one return trip gets cancelled.

I wonder if they're Brum drivers and guards these days, to save the
Bletchley crews from needing to train on units they're unlikely to
need to use?
