same! do please let me know if you find a schedule on RTTAs am I, part of me hopes they're transferred coupled together as I've only ever seen two 170s couplex

This was claimed by @168001 but still nothing on RTT. If no-one can find any schedules for this, I might just go to Cardiff Central tomorrow and Sunday just in case these 170s go through...The class755 Flirt thread mentions that 3 class 170's are going over to Wales this weekend but I have no idea whether that is accurate.
GA do have about 11 Flirts in service now though.
Ah, thanks for that Supposedly all the leases expired over a month ago but I guess some of them have been extended...?You will wait along while for 271 it’s not going until 02/20
thanks for the info at least I might have something to see Edit: 0815, maybe notChecking RTT I can't see anything which looks like a 170 transfer. There looks like a ScotRail 156 may be going through on Saturday: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/K03321/2019-11-09/detailed
Perhaps, but if that's what I like then I like to think that other people can respect that
The big deal is that I like 170s, I like that TfW are getting 170s, I like seeing TfW's 170s arrive in Cardiff, and I like to capture videos of the arrival of TfW's 170s in Cardiff for my YouTube channel.
In order to do the latter two things, I need to know when I need to be there. That's why I've been requesting and getting such information. The units "coming when they come" is therefore not good enough for me.
Of course it's important that they're all in place for the timetable change; then I'll be able to get rides on them, maybe even with a friend of mine who has showed in interest in doing so. Even more important for the "normal" service users they'll benefit.
The transfers of 170207 and 170270 were indeed exciting, but personally I didn't feel any relative lack of excitement when 170272 transferred, and I imagine it will be the same when 170271, 170273, 170201, 170202, 170203, 170204, 170205, 170206 and 170208 transfer
That's a very good point actually Luckily I like both 153s and 170s, as you might be able to tell from the train-related videos on my YouTube channelAs some 153s are now expected from Greater Anglia you won't be able to tell if it's a 153 or 170 en route from Norwich to Canton
ooh yes, most definitely!!! mucho thankos for thatAnything to get excited about ?

thanks for thatIt would seem that training on 170s has been stepped up as the evening path to Gloucester and return was used last week. It even ran additionally on Saturday in VSTP paths with 170207
Looking forward to 170202 and 170204 moving in multi as a 6-car train! Very nice to be sent that info from a source that couldn't be more direct
That would be epic! Although it's pathed for 100mph which 153s shouldn't do...?The movement is on the way. Perhaps it will pick up WMT 153s for transfer at Tyseley
Well two left this morning. The 153 and other 170 still at Clown point.
170202 and 170204, as per post 314Do you know what units made the trip?

PMd you They're sleeping over at Tyseley and continuing to Cardiff tomorrow, should you not already know thatCheers. Worked on the railway long enough to know that plans and reality don't always match

ha ha Clown Point, I like that
Good sense of humourha ha Clown Point, I like that
Thanks for that! That's either 170202 or 170204, the other of which ran with it but has obviously been uncoupledView attachment 70352 An ex-GA Class 170 at Tyseley
It's tight for sure, even with the changed plansTfW receiving their 170s is great, but we're only 5 weeks away from the first day of the TT change, and that depends on TfW recieving 9 x 153s as well (5 from GA, 4 from West Midlands)

It's OK!No problem! Sorry for the bad picture quality!
