Driver training on the North Wales Coast has begun using the ex-Virgin Driving Van Trailers which have been converted for use with Class 67 locomotives so that the Holyhead - Cardiff express can work as a push-pull train, reversing at Chester to serve Wrexham, from September.
Monday 6 August saw locomotive 67 001 and DVT 82308 run as train 5Z50 11:30 Cardiff Canton depot - Holyhead, and on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the following diagram is planned:
5Z51 10:00 Holyhead - Crewe
5Z52 12:14 Crewe - Shrewsbury (Via Stafford / Oxley)
5Z53 13:37 Shrewsbury - Holyhead (Via Crewe)
