Central Trains Class 170 DMU 170103 departing Birmingham New Street station to the east - I think the destination was Nottingham via Derby. The livery shows that this is one of the units that was cascaded to Central Trains from Midland Mainline upon the arrival into service of the latter's Class 222 units.

Central Trains servies between Nottingham and Cardiff are normally operated by single two- or three-car Class 170 sets, but today this service was strengthend to five cars with a one two-car and one three-car unit to cater for the extra demand generated by the Rugby Union Heineken Cup final between Munster and Biarritz at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. In this photograph the train is arriving into platform 3 of Newport station in South Wales with a Nottingham bound service, 3-car 170102 (a unit whose teal livery shows it to be one inherited from Midland Mainline) is leading with 2-car 170523 (in Central Trains' own bright green livery) on the rear.

Central Trains class 170 Diesel Multiple Units and a Midland Mainline Class 222 DEMU 222009 at Nottingham Station. The front Central trains unit, looking very tacky, is 170108 while behind it is 170639. The livery on 170180 is not a standard one for Central Trains, and the colours lead me to suspect it was formerly operated by Midland Mainline, with their branding removed and Central Trains' added.
