Which day is it? I'll see if can find out.
I'm not sure to be honest. Normally Will show on RTT but it's not yet. It's going from Crewe CS so any extra appearing for there to Holyhead is likely to be it.

Only since the Dinmore block? They've been woeful from the start with a series of "it'll be better next week/month" improvements proving to be a damp squib.

Saturday is the likely candidate.

THanks there was only one set there on Saturday at about midday
Will be HD01 then. Does appear 02 hasn't made it there yet.
What are the amended diagrams?
1.Ecs to Swansea
05:36 Swansea to Manchester
10:30 Manchester to Cardiff
17:14 Cardiff to Holyhead
2. 04:35 Cardiff to Manchester
08:30 Manchester to Cardiff
14:49 Cardiff to Manchester
18:30 Manchester to Cardiff
3. (Won't run tomorrow)
05:33 Holyhead to Cardiff
10:52 Cardiff to Manchester
14:30 Manchester to Cardiff
18:55 Cardiff to Manchester
Ecs to Crewe
Thanks
Should be this: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:01909/2023-10-09/detailed
Plan seems to be now that 67025+HD07 will remain at Canton after 1V39 with 1W96 a unit substitute.
This will leave 2 sets in Canton for the morning and enable HD01 at Holyhead to enter service on the 05:33 tomorrow.
I see it’s now ‘cancelled due to a problem with the traction equipment’. Wonder if this means 1W96 will go back to being a mk4 set.

Yes. All very strange Sheridan
True! Although since then they've been almost non-existent. Several false dawns have come and gone and no change. Some of the things that have been done should have made a big difference but didn't.
Nothing strange, 67013 wasn't released by DB in time so 014 wasn't able to go. If it went there would be no standby loco at Crewe which is a requirement.
It's now planned to head down tomorrow instead.
HD07 has gone onto the Manchester Diagram which gets it back to Crewe on Wednesday night for an exam on the loco.

I know it's early days yet, but should we expect these diagrams to be MkIV next week? I'll be out and about on Monday and Tuesday.

Will they all be 5 car sets eventually?
Eventually. The plan for when the other sets will be done has changed so often I'm not really sure what the latest one is.
I'm not totally sure. At the moment in all honesty what turns up is pot luck anyway its a bit of see what shows up unfortunately.
Should be back to 3 sets from Friday rather than 1 or 2 which have ended up out recently but still not enough for the full 4 diagrams.

Obviously things can change on the day but as it stands the 12:52 is booked a Mk4 on Saturday and is pencilled on for HD04.
Still a few days to go so may alter but that's the plan as it stands.

67025 is out??? Is it going back out later pls??
025 stayed on HD07 in the end and never swapped off. It's currently on 1W23 then is on an exam at Crewe tomorrow but should be back out Friday

What a great shame I missed it. As I understand it, it's on borrowed time with TfW?
Edit: Checking my haulages log I had it in 2022 actually
Still only 022 I need.
