Non loco hauled services were:
Down Line: Centro Coventry-Wolverhampton stopping services
at xx12 and xx42, and Silverlink London-Birmingham
services at xx26.
Up Line: Centro Wolverhampton stopping services at xx12 and xx42,
Silverlink London-Birmingham services at xx17
Silverlink services ran hourly in each direction.

From 1.05pm to 5.10pm Line occupancy was Down line 35 trains,
and Up line also 35 trains, 8.6 trains per hour each way.

Euston services to and from Manchester and Preston/Glasgow
came via Coventry and Bescot, but not the Liverpool services,
which have Nuneaton stops.

Some of the diverted trains were difficult to identify. The
12.18pm Glasgow had Preston stickers, and the 1.18pm Euston-
Preston had Glasgow stickers.

Punctuality was generally good with three exceptions: The
11.28am Euston-Wolverhampton was 23 Late, and the 11.20am
and 12.20pm HST workings from Bournemouth were in all sorts
of trouble. The former limped through 39 late on one Power
car, and the latter (The Dorset Scot) didn't turn up at all.
In it's place came Res 47742 on 7 coaches, 55 minutes late
on the HST's timings. Possibly a scratch working (? from where)
