Thanks very much. Looks like I'll have to do some replanning in order to fit in those three extra diagrams! :D

6:02/9:02/12:02/15:02 Rhymney to Penarth

20:44 Cardiff to Penarth
21:07 Penarth to Rhymney
Quick question about this diagram: how does it skip a departure from Rhymney? It arrives from Penarth at 1756, then forms the 1902 to Cardiff. What then forms the 1802 to Cardiff? I can't see any relevant ECS moves on RealTime Trains, and a quick look at Google maps suggests that it isn't possible for a train already in the platform to depart before a new arrival has.
Thanks :)

I've just seen 143607 at Treforest, on the 0927 from Treherbert to Bridgend. This isn't on any of the diagrams; has a set swap occurred?

Thanks. Time for the third replan of the day...
Dont knock tfw I had to change my plan recently twice the past two Fridays as well due to 143 failures.
However gained two nice diversions via danescourt. However I to ended up off at pontypridd. On the 07 may 2021. But rode a pacer . All that matters. They should have ended last week. But no. Once again tfw have gone a extra mile to offer something that shouldn't be here.
At least 143 are running which I am very much grateful for. Very unexpected. And am sure others will be to. Don't forget northern pulled theres early and was a shame for those who respected the November lockdown only to lose out when the tier came back early December.

601 has just been detached from the rear of the 13:33 ex Penarth at Cardiff Central and run off to the depot.

Recall doing the early days of Rhymney loco hauled commuter trains with the 1705 ex Cardiff for the Fridays only 1910 back with various Waterman Railways and RES locos. I think back in the mid 90s it was probably even worse. For future reference, if its relevant I sometimes walked down the road to Pontlottyn for a newsagents dinner then back on the unit that just made the 1910 back. That almost irrelevant shop became one of many little tales of the bash back then for reasons that I won't go into!

Iam like you Solent and Wessex in the fact that i needed both 625 and 604 for spotting and 625 for travelling on.Also need 604 for travelling on but chances of getting that for ride on are slim.Got to see 604 at Landore depot though and had a ride on 625 on the 17th so that was good.Sometimes these things sadly happen mate.
