So there’s only one Premier set to make to to Swansea per day, none leave in passenger service currently?
At the moment yes, eventually there'll be one departure in the morning and one arrival in the evening.
Saturdays and Sundays have a couple but it's mostly a Cardiff-Manchester operation

Showing as 197112 at the moment.
No, the plans in post #3027 are still correct so it was pre-planned earlier in the week for it to be a unit. As still will be 1V91/1W57/1V46/1W65 tomorrow and 1V33/1W19/1V50 on Thursday.Afternoon

4 rakes should be back on Friday when HD01s exam is complete.

Okay.
Thanks for the information. Didn't read the earlier post properly.
Appreciate it.
Dave
Thank you.

A few Pre-planned swaps today, tonight's 1W96 and Mondays 1V91 will be units.
HD02 at Crewe is having a loco swap and should enter service later on either 1W55 or 1V42 with 67015 replacing 017 which is due an exam.
As it stands with HD04 and 06 still on work/exams there's only 4 available sets (HD01/02/05/07) so sending a set to Holyhead for the weekend would guarantee a whole diagram missing over the weekend.

67022/HD07 issues at Cardiff with 1W57. (10:52 Cardiff - Manchester)
Swapped out for 197018 vice.

Currently 0 sets out at the moment. HD05 booked on 1W19/1V50 and potentially HD07 on 1W65 if its sorted by then
The planned swap at Crewe on W55 isn't happening due to lack of crew to prep so that will be staying on the depot too.

Any update on the permanently cursed 67022 on tonight’s 1W65 please?
It had brake release issues, Looks like it's something that's not resolvable in a day. Showing as next out on Monday on either 1W55 (08:49 from Cardiff) or 1W23 (16:49 from Cardiff) now.
Means only 3 diagrams max will run tomorrow now too using HD01 (67012) HD02 (67015) and HD05 (67014).
EDIT: A late change of plan and HD07 was reinstated onto W65 departing late but after a loco swap with 67025 going on. 022 has been left at Canton.
There's now an amended plan for tomorrow. Unusually there is now booked a North Wales Saturday run with 1W96 17:23 Cardiff to Holyhead running as a mk4 rather than 1W23 16:49 Manchester
In other Mk4 news, the donor SV, TOE and DVT at Landore have all been moved by road to Sims at Newport for scrapping.

I believe now 1W96 will run unit rather than 67 and 1W23 67 rather than unit If possible to avoid ending up with 2 sets in Holyhead for Monday morning.

Is 1W96 going to be a unit or a 67 please?
On RTT as 67015 at the moment....

On paper it's still a 67015+HD02 but I'd be amazed if it actually runs as a 67 as it will leave 2 sets up in Holyhead and leave Crewe short for both Sunday and Monday starts.

Now swapped so 67015 now booked the 16:50 Manchester and the 2 153s which were down for the Manchester are now allocated to the Holyhead
Hopefully next week is a bit more predictable after all the chopping and changing this week!

Thanks for the update.
Did i see that one of the sets has gone to Newport for scrap?
Dave
Not a set no. Just some 'donor' coaches which were only ever bought for spares.

Ah. Okay.
Evening
I am confused now...
RTT have this allocated to 2 153s and 67015....is that actually correct?

No, whoever is sitting in an office at NR doing the allocations has most likely forgot to de-allocate 67015Ah. Okay.

Likely to be the 2 153s the 67s can't work with a 153 to My knowledge. Also the 67 drivers would sign a 153 but most don't sign a 67 so would be more taxing with crew.Ah. Okay.
