On Saturday a Crewe driver said that there was a slight dragging brake on it but it seemed to continue onwards. Seems to have come up again now.

82226 is part of HD01
12217 is part of HD03
They are both out today and both on diagrams ending at ATC Crewe tonight. If they come out tomorrow, your two diagrams to look for are the 05:13 Crewe Cardiff, 08:53 Cardiff Manchester, 12:30 Manchester Cardiff & 16:53 Cardiff Manchester and the other Crewe starter is the 06:27 Manchester Cardiff, 14:53 Cardiff Manchester & 18:30 Manchester Cardiff.

Believe they should be on the move from Bristol any time soon. AFAIK Eastleigh will be their first call for some mods before they continue on to Landore.

5C52 last night was HD02 as my friend saw it at Cardiff. Ran down to Swansea and back.
Why would that be? Not enough fuel to pull away from station stops? or no guard forward from Hereford?
It will make for a very poor passenger experience, especially at that time of night. Will they provide 2 buses (1 to run direct) or just tell people to wait an hour?

The 18.30 Manchester to Cardiff
will be terminated at Hereford.
It will no longer call at Abergavenny, Pontypool And New Inn, Cwmbran, Newport South Wales and Cardiff Central.
This is due to engineering works not being finished on time.
Additional Information:
Customers from Shrewsbury advised to travel on the 19:45 departure to Hereford where replacement road transport supplied by Star Travel and CMD Coaches will serve stations Hereford to Cardiff Central.
Road transport calling points may be found on station information posters and the Transport for Wales Rail website.
Extended journey times may be experienced.
We apologise for the disruption to your journey.

How can the engineering work "not finish on time" and only disturb a train later in the evening?
Does this mean that the 19:30 will also be terminating at Hereford? Currently, both 19:30 and 20:30 are shown as through to Cardiff.
I am now getting nervous for tomorrow.
Is this just a case of the railway failing basic communication?

Maybe some unplanned works they have discovered need doing? There are other trains affected too. 1629 Holyhead to Cardiff terminates at Shrewsbury and 2124 Cardiff to Shrewsbury is cancelled.

There is currently a 5mph ESR at Maindee so I’m wondering if it’s to do with that. 5V62 showing as going round the curve and reversing at Usk, but not sure why that can’t be done in service as it’s Cardiff crew worked and they sign it.
Crewe guards & drivers don’t sign via Usk which would possibly make sense for some workings being missing (21:24 Cardiff Crewe tonight, and the 05:15 & 06:10 Shrewsbury Cardiffs tomorrow are all Crewe drivers, and Shrewsbury guards for the morning two and they don’t sign Usk either)

as a mere passenger (nowadays) I am surprised that they are not prepared to have a local driver and guard out there to conduct the crews who need it between the 2 junctions. Sounds like a very basic bit of train planning/diagramming...
p.s. I should have said that that is a good reason, but a very poor excuse!

So will the 19:30 and 20:30 from Manchester be crewed by Cardiff and going via Usk (RTT is not good at saying what is going on when trains go off scheduled route).
This just sounds very poor. Especially considering if the issue is Maindee the train could serve Cwmbran in service.
