Riding the Trains Around the Midlands 11th May 2012

Myself my Son and my Nephew decided to have a day out riding the trains around the Midlands with a bit of number taking and hopefully the odd photograph.  After some research the cheapest option we found was a West Midlands Day Ranger for £21.60 and £13.20 for Senior Citizens.  This we decided would be started from Hereford, which was only an hours car drive from home.
It was very cold on arrival at Hereford and got even colder has the day progressed but we persevered.  This is the list of trains we had planned to catch with some sight seeing on route, and the forward planning deemed to be successful, all trains on time and all trains caught.

9.40am Hereford to Birmingham New Street 11.13am - London Midland Class 170
11.33am Birmingham New Street to Rugby 12.11pm - London Midland Class 350
12.51pm Rugby to Birmingham New Street 13.27pm - Virgin Trains Pendelino Class 390
14.20pm Birmingham New Street to Crewe 15.07pm - Virgin Trains Voyager Class 220
15.49pm Crewe to Stafford 16.09pm - London Midland Class 350
18.28pm Stafford to Birmingham New Street 18.58pm - Cross Country Voyager Class 221
19.17pm Birmingham New Street to Hereford 21.02pm.

This is the list of sightings throughout the day.
