I assume you are asking about the WAG express (Currently 57 + MK2s /3S) It does not run on Saturdays.

Glad I did it one last time last Friday with a 'snatcher then (316)
I was also on it last Friday, from Cardiff to Chester. I love the food on it. I didn't realise until I got off that we had 57313 d.o.r.

No changes to times although the service from Holyhead in the morning is likely to be hauled by a 57 I have been told

I did hear also that a Class 57 was taking it down but a Class 67 back up

I love it when theres a stay of execution! One of those 'I refuse to die!!' moments! Okay, maybe only for a one way trip but AFTER the 'last official' 57-hauled WAGex.

Did read on Gens this morning that 57316 IS the last Class 57 to Cardiff

with the DVT?

That would be unlikely, I don't think that the current WAG Express rolling stock is through wired for remote operation of the 67 from the DVT. The 67s will simply take over the present arrangement from the 57s for the time being.

No posts frothing forth with news of 67 on northbound WAG tonight were the rumours duff?

I was on 67002 today from Cardiff to Crewe. No DVT just 4 Mk2s. 1FC and 3SC
67002 Looked very nice in Arriva Blue.

Looks nice but it's a shame to see the back of the 57s at lastStill, we got a good stay of execution I suppose.
I must admit to being rather happy the pseudo duffs are gone. Much prefer a 67

The last northbound 57 WAG express on Friday had an extra Mk.2 TSO in it for some reason, so ran as 57316 - Mk.3 RBF - Mk.2 TSO - Mk.2 TSO - Mk.2 TSO - Mk.2 BSO.
Does anyone know why this was?
Here is my video of it arriving into Flint.

Do the mods think that we should merge this thread with http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=54768 as they are about the same thing.
