Used a couple of 3 car 197's this week, and chose to sit in the former "Standard Plus" section. Very spacious and comfortable, can tell people are still weary of sitting in there due to the vinyls on the doors. Unless your in the know, you won't sit in there I guess.

I was on a 4 car 158 at 9am this morning from Wrexham and they were both going to Holyhead. Thought it was a bit overkill to be honest given the shortage of them.

Well the Swansea part was cancelled. I couldn't have imagined being on it

Why not terminate it, unless the unit had to be in Cardiff one way or another

I've juat heard a news report on the radio (Nation Radio), that said a person was killed. Given it was a heart attack, due to the effects of the collision, should they be correcting this? A sad situation regardless and thoughts are with the person's family.

I mean, they could place it within the station itself somewhere. Not by the bins where it's probably going to get vandalised etc

More direct Liverpool services would from Wrexham would be good too. Perhaps joining with the Coast - Liverpool trains at Chester with 2+2 units.

An a separate note. I was at Cardiff Central last week and the whole announcement seemed like a mish mash of inserted recorded voices.

No trains running between Wrexham and Bidston today due to signallers being unavailable. Buses will be running with disruption expected until 18:00 https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service-disruptions/hope-20240810/

Those breakfasts are ridiculous. Didn't have the big one, the standard one defeated me. 1st Class on HD07 needs a touch of TLC but very comfortable reclining seats and excellent host.

I did wonder about that. Thanks

I managed to get a 1st Class advance for around £40 compared to the normal cost of it. I dont mind paying £10 or so for the breakfast, just hope and pray there's no issues with the loco and set that morning! I dont mind a 197 but would feel cheated out of it, if one turned up on the diagram.

Booked on 1V91 from Wrexham next Tuesday. Are the cooked breakfasts worth the extra money in 1st Class?

Got an advance 1st class ticket for £40 via the TFW app for August. I've used the MK4 to Cardiff in the past on a standard ticket so jumped at the chance to go 1st class for a change, may even give the breakfast a try (Chef permitting ).

Looks like it didn't make it past Shrewsbury due to signalling issues

Showing as 197011 2 car unit at the moment. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:L40468/2024-06-04/detailed#allox_id=1

Im wondering if T3 buses are going to terminate/depart Wrexham General then in the future? There's not much swing room for a bus though until they redevelop the NWF site.

I've spotted the below on RTT (real time trains), not seen it before so I'm curious as to why a bus service from Barmouth to Wrexham, has now appeared in the planner from June. It's showing return workings from the 10th of June, is TFW integrating the TrawsCymru bus service into the planners...

Is this service that previously ran from Shrewsbury via Wrexham. It now starts from Wrexham if so.
