Ken Jones writes (11 December 2010):

To commemorate the connection of the old Birmingham Moor Street Station to the national network at long last Vintage Trains ran a steam train from the terminus to Paddington today [11/12/10] after which Chiltern Trains who have done much to revive this station had various events taking place throughout the day at this Birmingham terminus. From Monday there will be one locomotive hauled train from here to and from Marylebone utilising Wrexham & Shropshire stock.
