Yes. I had missed Chargesmith's posting yesterday regarding 005 and 007 running. Hopefully we might see 004 soon as indicated in the posts.

756005 is running today. This is the first 756/0 I've noticed running. 1M50 1651 Aberdare to Merthyr Tydfil

Yes. 418 had the problems and appears to be the one paired with 025.

I have just read this on Facebook, and copied it to below ... Confirmed;: Tommoz 37025 07.43 Rhymney Cardiff, 37418 rear for ETH etc. 37421 06.10.

The Saturday loco-hauled service was scheduled, but hasn’t been run with a loco. I understand that this may continue to run with units.

1746 today is 2 x 150 units

I have seen photos people have taken from passing trains in the past. I don’t know if they are always in the same position.

I'll be out for 37421 to get to work in Cardiff. 37025 would be nicer though!

I have been informed that the 1746 was a unit.

37421 was solo, nothing on the back. I don’t have any info on the 1746. Yes, I expect Bingley Main Street looks completely different now!

I lived in Bingley for a while until 2001. I used to work at Bradford & Bingley, also until 1996 (showing my age!). 37421 is working the 2R20 1701 Cardiff Central to Rhymney tonight.

Sorry to hear. Whereabouts in West Yorkshire? I moved from West Yorkshire two years ago to South Wales, from near Keighley.

Yes, it was bad news today. Had you travelled far?

Thank you both. Any news on what happened? I believe the training runs had run okay.

After Bargoed, 37418 didn’t sound too healthy. Seemed to take a while to gather power after each station.
