Snow Hill Congestion - a photo on Flickriver

Snow Hill Congestion

            Due to congestion at Birmingham Snow Hill, West Midlands Trains 2V30 1319 Whitlocks End - Great Malvern departs from platform 3, which is normally used by Up services. The cause was an empty stock movement through platform 1, 2V30s booked platform, and Chiltern Railways Class 168 No. 168217 that had earlier terminated in Platform 2 with 1G27, 1140 ex-London Marylebone was now laying over prior to forming service 1H51, 1412 back to London Marylebone. Snow Hill is formed of two island platforms, but the face of platform 4 (far left) remains out of use awaiting for the now unused Midland Metro tram line to be removed and heavy rail reinstated, which when accomplished will  increase the station's capacity by at least 25%.
