Any ideas if the 1630 ex Manchester Piccadilly will run on Wednesday?

Should do, there's 4 sets available Tues-Fri so all the diagrams should be covered

I look forward to my short hop from Cardiff to Swansea in that case.
TFW posted on X/Twitter that the following services are units today
05:30 Holyhead to Cardiff
10:52 Cardiff to Manchester
14:30 Manchester to Cardiff
18:55 Cardiff to Manchester
Any reason for such poor availability of the MK4's its becoming very regular again recently.

Just slightly up-thread SD very kindly explained the current situation. We’ve been seeing 4 sets out most days recently with a few days of 3 sets.

Additionally the last set to Holyhead last Friday was to go for storage temporarily, thus after the block the 05:30 was inevitably going to be a unit.

Have I still got 67022 on tomorrow's 0435 from CDF? I'm after my fry up 
Still should have yes.Have I still got 67022 on tomorrow's 0435 from CDF? I'm after my fry up
The missing one today was pre-planned with a gap between losing HD05 and getting HD06 back so it shouldn't affect anything

Many thanks. I'm hoping at some point to get a long run on HD01-03. I want the Virgin East Coast memories

Ahh, well I'm lucky to get a train with a buffet at all (last time it was a 197 without a trolley), so I won't be too spoilt about it

Now this, is a beautiful thing. Especially when you’ve been up since 3am, on board since 4:15am, and won’t get to your partner’s until midday.
Absolutely phenomenal breakfast. Even if it did take until Crewe to arrive Out of my favourite black pudding sadly but I didn’t care. Here:
A video is attached of how glorious the runny yolk was.

That does look good! Out of curiosity, what do they charge for that?
I'm sure you've said previously you can't think of anything worse than a stodgy cooked breakfast but that is certainly a thing of beautyNow this, is a beautiful thing. Especially when you’ve been up since 3am, on board since 4:15am, and won’t get to your partner’s until midday.

Gosh, how come it took until Crewe ? Have they got different sausages? last time they had pork and Leek ones that I wasn’t a huge fan of.Now this, is a beautiful thing. Especially when you’ve been up since 3am, on board since 4:15am, and won’t get to your partner’s until midday.

The chef for that service is a Shrewsbury based one, so they don’t board until then. So I suppose once they’ve got on, set up etc, it will take a little longer than usual.
There are some based at Newport too, why this one isn’t covered by them is behind my knowledge, but I would imagine it’s to spread the limited number of them to cover all trains
I guess there's not many people on it at 0430 from Cardiff, but lots more heading into Manchester from 0630 from Shrewsbury onwards.
ahhh, well that makes a lot more sense ! I had assumed they would have boarded in Newport as I they thought they were all either Manchester or Newport based.

Lovely apart from I personally wouldn't take mushrooms. Black pudding is from my wife's home town, but she doesn't like it!

From what I remember HD02 was the spare set at Canton, I'm assuming that it moved onto 1W65 now due to HD01s failure this morning?
Sorry, my sense of logic seemed to have an issue here, the Holyhead diagram was replaced, my fault!

HD02 hasn't got a loco on it anymore. 67015 returned to DB at Crewe off it today.
Theres now no set at Holyhead, 1 at Canton and 3 at Crewe so the Plan to get it back to normal tomorrow is for HD01 (now with 67014 rather than 008) to swap in at Crewe at 0730 on 1W11, HD07 will then pick up the diagram that normally comes from Holyhead picking up 1W57 at 10:52 from Cardiff

67014 + HD01 have ran empty stock Crewe - Cardiff as 5Z67, rather than set swapping into 1W11. Timings are here
