Does anyone know why so few MK4s are out at the minute? I am booked on the 12:49 off Cardiff to Manchester one day next week. What is the chances of this being a MK4? It's diagrammed to be but doesn't seem to ever be an MK4.
Availability has been woeful since the Dinmore block, really not helped by 2 sets needing tyre turning and 2 67s were found to have bogie pivot cracks, both of the sets are now ready and the locos should head back tomorrow.
Currently HD01, 02 and 03 are all loco-less.
HD04 which has been on tyre turning is now back in service
HD05 is on a heavy exam at Crewe
HD06 is undergoing tyre turning at Canton but should reenter service on Wednesday
HD07 is in service.
Tomorrow 67014 is due to head to Holyhead to go on HD01 which should then head to Crewe at some point to re-enter service and 67022 is due to head to Landore to go on HD03, at this point it's just to take it to Canton to free up space at Landore
Edited to remove diagrams as they've changed so are incorrect.
