    225 hours will be for all TFW depots once introduced. It’s not that big a reduction in reality Possibly two weeks worth of handling on average.

    020 failed at Holyhead over the weekend so I’m assuming one will replace it on HD05 and the other will return to Crewe with 020 in tow.. Or they have collected the whole set (020 & HD05)

    The three trains a day to Holyhead have slipped quietly off the timetable leaving just V91 and W96 Shame the additional set couldn’t be commissioned…. HD08 Coaches reported going to Bristol the other week and the tender speaking of HD99 coming into service soon
