The 1st off Cardiff 1W11 is now booked unit, since the May timetable change.
The 67 & set works off Crewe
5V37 ECS to form 1V37 the 8.30 Manchester - Cardiff
Same as the 1V31 from Crewe is a unit.
1W13 would be a 67 & set
If 4 sets where available.
Thanks. I got a bit confused as to why 2 diagrams seemed to be 197s today. That makes sense now.

So 6 sets out during the week, yet only 4 on Saturdays?

No, during the last few weeks we've been down to 4 every day on a weekday due to the loss of HD02 when there is meant to be 5. On weekends one of these sets spends it at Holyhead so diagrams are reduced to 4. Today there's only 3 sets available due to unfortunate incidents and exam timings.
Theres never been 6 diagrams in the week, there won't be either until the additional set arrives and the refurbishments are completed.
Theres currently 4 diagrams Monday to Friday and 3 on a Saturday. As far as im aware that's currently expected/planned to be the case until 2nd August (but can change between now and then!)
Which diagram is officially booked for a unit on a Saturday? Is it the one that starts at Swansea?
Thanks. So on a Saturday we have the opposite situation of no morning service but we do have the evening working and the opposite on weekdays.
Sunday is the only day when Swansea gets a MK4 in both directions (2 on a Sunday).

DVT tonight
A few moves and swaps planned for this week:
Tomorrow should see 67008 come off HD07 after 1V39, 67015 will then go on and work 1W96.
Wednesday should see 67014 come off HD04 after 1V39, 67008 will then go on and work 1W96.
67016+HD05 are planned to work across from ETD to ATC following repairs, will then go onto its B exam, only HD02 hasn't been done then so all operational sets will be done in this cycle.
Thursday is planned for 67012+HD06 to re-enter service following exam. As HD05 hasn't been out anyway this at least gives an extra set available.

67029/HD01 booked for it
It may be reversed at Canton so Loco will be leading from Chester.
