GOB Class 172s

wrote: Silverlink had 8 of them, which left two spare every day. AIUI, in November London Midland got none, so must be using their ex-Central 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?
