Just wanted to let you all know that I've had my phone for two years and in that time on both work and leisure commutes I've spotted just under 60,000 trains. You're welcome

Jeepers that is a LOT! Fair play to you for that determination to keep this thread alive!

Only two from me after all from yesterday:

20/03/2020

1533xx+170512 1439 Hereford-Birmingham New Street
175104 1230 Manchester Piccadilly-Milford Haven

Funny one there Dan, 0821 Cardiff to Maesteg was cancelled. It's shown in Journey Check as cancelled under investigation. That points to the info incorrect in system.

Sorry, I've quoted the wrong service. 170205 was on the 0848. Duly corrected.

1W07 1037 Cardiff Central to Manchester Piccadilly: 153309+153329+150250

That is really shocking in 2020.

Two dog boxes and a crappy sprinter to do the near 200 miles from the Welsh capital to the most important city in Northern England. Not sure it deserves the Class 1 headcode.

Indeed, and to absolute rub it in, a pair of 3 car 175s were sat in Canton sidings!

At least the 150 was a PRMd unit with plug sockets.

Unfortunately it’s booked that at the moment (along with the 14:30 Manchester to Milford Haven!!), at least since the May 2020 timetable change. It’s been a good mix between the refurbished dogboxes and the older East Midlands cast-offs.

 

[NorthWestRover]

Why? Don't they have a 158 or 2 free? It's disgraceful. Never mind the 175s.

It is frustrating, especially when you see 170s shuttling back and forth Maesteg/Ebbw Vale!

And yet 175007 and 175103 are sat in Canton like spare parts!

The Marches is virtually a Sunday Timetable at the moment which sees 150s and 153s along the route. Diagramming can be very complex and if you haven't got the 175s in the right place at the right time then that's it. The 175s hanging around Canton during the day are probably in between working Cardiff to Manchester services. Many things may not be obvious and appear strange to the lay person but the position is probably not what the TOC themselves favour either.
