Chiltern Loco Hauled Marylebone-Moor Street

[STEVIEBOY1]

Good morning,

I am thinking of going to to Brum on the loco hauled trains on a weekday. I have not done that for a couple of years and there seem to have been some changes. Going from the thread on this forum, am I correct in assuming that the two trains below from London to Moor St, should be loco hauled?

1R21 MYB 1010 - BMO 1156 (4)
1R25 MYB 1110 - BMO 1256 (2)

but coming back, the thread seems to indicate this;

1H45 BMO 1255 - MYB 1443 (4)
1H48 BMO 1355 - MYB 1540 (2)
1H62 BMO 1655 - MYB 1751 (1), however I wonder if this entry, is maybe incorrect,? I had thought that there was a loco hauled train leaving BMO at 1555, getting into MYB around 1740 ish. (So should this read 1555,rather than 1655, arrival 1751?) If not, there is no need for HS2 as the above seems to indicate a journey time of less than an hour from Birmingham to Marylebone.

Yes, it's the 15.55.

Looks like a typo on the listing.

Best let the poster of the diagrams thread know about this error as it can be misleading.

http://www.leightonlogs.org/ChilternLHdec15.htm implies that the 1310 from MYB is also loco-hauled. Could anyone confirm this for me please, in case there's a reason (other than inconvenient timing for him) that the OP didn't mention it.

Many Thanks - Morpethcurve

Yep, the 13:10 Marylebone-Moor Street is loco hauled too.
