Not too sure what the exact issue is but it's down as set related rather than loco. It'll be hoped to get it to Crewe tomorrow as its last day before it's exam so will (if repaired) go out on either 1W57 or 1W65.

67012 on HD03 has also been found to be faulty after its wheelslip on Friday too.

Yes still planned with 025. If successful should be out on 1V31 diagram tomorrow.

67012+HD03 is now ready too and should pick up the 10:52 from Cardiff tomorrow, which would have been its diagram anyway. Seems likely HD02 will now have to have its exam at Canton once repairs are completed.

Saw both on Canton earlier facing eachother, both DVTs a few meters apart! May I add HD03 was fully out the shed though..

Guessing it’s 67010

Yes 010.

Will that leave Crewe overloaded ?
So 1W23 or 1W65 will be a unit
To leave a 2nd set at Canton

HD02 and 67029 are planned to go to Crewe ETD so there should be room on Crewe ATC.

Yes HD02 will be ETD bound until space at ATC for its repairs and exam. As it needs some repairs, it'll take longer than the simple exam so will be sidelined there temporarily, likely until HD05s exam is complete.

67013 is now back in service having replaced 67015 on HD01

Should be another path for after 1600, if it doesn't run today will go tomorrow.
DVT failed so will now run 67029 coupled to the DVT

Seems 67029 + HD02 keeps hitting the bucket, another 5Z02 schedule put in but hasn't left, a few times showing up on the track map but never left.
Tomorrow the lineup looks to be:
67012 + HD03: 1V31/1W55/1V42/1W23
67013 + HD01: 1V33/1W19/1V50
67025 + HD06: 1W11/1V37/1W96
67014 + HD07: 1V91/1W57/1V46/1W65
If I've made a mistake here please correct me, 67020 + HD04 most likely spare at Crewe.
67008 + HD05 still on exam
67029 + HD02, unsure if it'll try move up again tomorrow.

Yea those look to be correct with 04 as spare.
There were backup plans in place to get HD02 to Crewe tomorrow but not sure why it's not made it off this time so depends whether it's fixable.

67025 Set 6, 69 late at Crewe on 1W11
1V37 starting at Crewe with 197006

Low power on 67025.
Likely (but not guaranteed) to be set swap later with HD03 forming the 17:14 Holyhead vice 16:49 Manchester to balance for tomorrow.

Yes Crewe will be bursting otherwise

Instead of any swaps at Cardiff, spare set HD04 is now planned to run ecs this evening Crewe to Chester and work w96 from Chester to Holyhead.

Theres some swaps tomorrow though, HD01 which is planned on the Cardiff start will swap to 16:49 Manchester with HD03 off the early Crewe start working the 17:14 Holyhead tomorrow evening.
HD02 is now planned to run ecs to Crewe ETD tomorrow rather than today.
