Just curious about this, for the past couple of weekends, XC services between Derby and Birmingham have been diverted via Lichfield.
However, this Saturday (5th March) services to the North East are starting at Derby with buses laid on all the way from Birmingham. If the stock comes from Central Rivers to Derby, how does it get there, presuming the line is closed between Wichnor Junction and Derby? Does anyone know exactly where the line is blocked?
Not so long ago, if it wasn't possible to run via Tamworth or Lichfield between Derby and Birmingham, XC used to divert via Leicester but this seems to have been discontinued now.
