Yes it did the 6:04 Swansea to crewe via HOW then the Crewe-Shrewsbury shuttles for the day then back to Cardiff on the 17:20 via the Heart of Wales.
First time any of the recent transfers has escaped from Cardiff other than the crew trainers I think.

153369 made it up the heart of Wales on the 20/10 tagged on the back of a 150.

Does anyone know how long 323 was away for?

I'm guessing the same reason all those other ex-LNER Mark 4 vehicles have gone to Eastleigh, for Class 67 compatibility modification and refurbishment work

seriously...? they put them on a few units last year, but I don't really think it's a permanent enough thing to keep a list of (and that's coming from me :lol:) - does make good reading though and looking forward to seeing the TfW liveried units with the poppies on them :p I'll be at Cardiff Central today so should see a few!

You've got me into it; it's good to see the effort that TfW have gone into for remembrance. The poppies are on the floor of the subway at Cardiff Central as well.

I'm a nerd though, I like to get as many units as I can on services! Totally agree re Rememberance.

I'm torn on the whole rememberance thing. I had relatives who died in both world wars both as soldiers and civilians but had other relatives who refused to fight and were jailed as a result.

It seems to me that thoughtful reflection is what is required rather than the over the top poppy-worship that sometimes happens. It should never be nationalistic or bombastic. I think TfW have got it about right.

I'm sorry to hear that, and I agree.

158821 has now received TfW livery and PRM mods, meaning that 158820 and 158833 are the last two non-PRM holdouts!

Other than those, 158819/824/831/835/840 are still blue but PRM'd
