Ex LNER (and Grand Central) Mark 4 sets for TfW

[Anonymous10]

Thanks Hopefully it'll be back in action before too long!

Chaos on the Marches today it appears, all gone belly up after I left it this morning and I'm currently melting away on 150267+150208 at Shrewsbury. Such a contrast to the 158 this morning, and even more to the MK4s on Wednesday!

If its belly up there it's worse in Pembroke no trains west of Carmarthen and no rail replacement operating, it says this is only expected today but I can't see it magically getting back to usual overnight

Yikes. That's a poor showing to put it politely.

Not a great start for the extra Manchester diagram it seems. The 1250(ish) from Cardiff to Manchester has disappeared after 22:00. It was briefly there as a 67 + Mk4.

The 1052 and 1855 are showing as 67 + Mk4 plus the 0849 and 1649 are also suggesting it has 4 carriages, but not showing what 4. My understanding is that those two are a later diagram to change.

The 12:49 from Cardiff is starting at Crewe with 67012. That will then work the 16:30 Manchester - Swansea.

The 08:49/16:49 ex Cardiff is 67013

Great to see the 1630 that goes through to Swansea is finally a MK4!

The 0536 from Swansea was a 150. However this one isn't due to be a MK4 just yet.

150 as far as Cardiff then cancelled. Was showing Manchester Piccadilly on the screens until around 05:25 and then it suddenly switched to Cardiff only.

Assume there wasn't enough train crew to take it onwards from Cardiff?

I see that the 1630 was also cancelled from Manchester to Swansea.

Yes, they didnt seem to get a replacement unit for the 1630.

Was a 2 hour delay coming north and do not want to think about what it is going to be like coming the other way. That said I have a first class advance so let's see.

Yesterday 67013 + HD02 + 82229 and 67029 were out which was good to see. Both Manchester to Cardiff runs. 013 was cancelled at Wilmslow in the morning and started from Wilmslow after but it was OK after that for the rest of the day.

Thanks! When I got to the station I'd forgot about this working, so just as well I'm in Chester tomorrow, so won't see it. Here's hoping it goes well.

HD06 appears to have left Cardiff 26 late on 1W19. That is the first notable delay on the Manchester route today.

No additional delay between Cardiff and Newport.

40 down at Shrewsbury on the return 1V50.
At least it was not turned at Wilmslow.

Edit: Ended 75 late at Cardiff with the Swansea leg cancelled.

And so begins three weeks of monitoring.

The 0536 from Swansea is booked a pair of 150s.

HD01, 02, 05 and 06 are out covering all the booked Mk4 turns.

HD03 is also out on test runs between Landore and Hereford as a 5 car.

I think yesterday was the first day this week a set made it to Swansea on the 1630.

Hello.

Can you help please with with the number of the DVT for each MK 4 set - ie. HD01 to HD06? I think that is all that is in use at the moment.

Just like to put the numbers of the DVT on my YouTube videos as well as the Loco number. Am unable to get the numbers of the DVT sometimes.

Thank you.

Dave

I think yesterday was the first day this week a set made it to Swansea on the 1630.

And what a good way it is to travel too

Would still happily swap the option for an advance first on the 1630 for a more reliable train at other times of the day though.

Ah right so the 0536 from Swansea won't be a mk4 set then by the looks of it?

Yes they would be fabulous if they were more reliable !

I had a quick look on RTT and it seems to be running a bit better these last couple of days... Weird!

It is slightly odd, but I'm not complaining, they're going to be a huge improvement for the passengers along these lines.

Monday was a bit of a blip but even then was nothing wrong with the sets.
Things work better when they're used regularly, they were picking up anyway before the TT. these extra diagrams also give the crews a big uplift in work so familiarity is increasing quite quickly.

Not yet no, the diagrams are in post 2494.
