Another Active travel unit has been released from Landore. 153318+153572 have been formed into AT05 (not 06 as expected, not sure why the original sequence of the /5s vehicle number hasnt stuck with this one) and run to Canton.
This just leaves the 2 at Crewe (327 and 568) and looking like 153312 is now the spare.

327 hasn't got seats in it.

I presume 572 has come from 972?

Did AT02 528/353 go south as 2052 Shrewsbury to Cardiff via Hereford on Monday 16 June?

Yes it did, then 150283 worked north on W85 to Shrewsbury.
197115 was swapped out on both workings to get it to Chester for repairs

First time seeing an Active Travel 153 at work today. Set AT02 153528. It looks really good. I like the artwork on the sides.

Was AT01 on the 0527 Shrews-Swansea, 1251 Swansea to Shrewsbury and 1835 Shrewsbury to Swansea today.

AT01 is down as working the 0527 to Swansea, sitting in Swansea for the best part of 9 hours then working the 18:33 to Llanelli and then empties to Canton.

The rest of the diagram, the 12:51 is shown as 197009(!) From Swansea to Llanelli then AT03 to Shrewsbury and back to Swansea

Its finishes at Canton tonight, theres only 1 booked AT diagram off Canton so if it does go out its likely to be:
EcS to Swansea
08:27 Swansea to Cardiff
15:43 Cardiff to Fishguard
19:29 Fishguard to Swansea.

The ECS to Swansea (5M04 03:15 from Canton) is due to run with a 150, often if its in a pair they do show on real-time trains on the train information.

AT01 is the only other 153 pair at Canton so could really be either (or swapped to a 150)
.

AT02 153528 and 2x 153 worked to Canton today from Crewe. 5Z84.

It was AT02 and 153968. Its numbered 568 on the system but still physically numbered 968 and doesn't appear to have had any of the Active Travel mods. Not quite sure where that leaves 153327 which is seemingly abandoned at Crewe on its own now

Would appear id got an outdated plan for these as most of the last few formations and plans have turned out wrong :oops:

No doubt those formations will change over time with exam requirements. Just seems crazy to go to all the hassle of creating "AT" sets when surely they could have just gone down the route of 153/3 paired with 153/5 on the various systems (and none of that "AT0x" stuff?
