Will the 5th diagram involve the 18:30 from Manchester?

The 5th diagram is early Swansea start, 1030 off Manchester, 1830 off Manchester, so yes.
Could I have a list of what sets are on which diagrams tomorrow? Thanks.

67013+ HD01- Holyhead start
67025+HD02- No allocation, thankfully
67020+HD03- Crewe start 1V33
67015+HD04- Crewe start 1V31 (last day before exam)
67022+HD05 ecs Crewe ATC-Crewe ETD for tyre turn
67008+HD06 Cardiff start
67010+HD07 ecs Holyhead to Crewe to balance things for Friday.

Brilliant, thanks
Yes indeed, thankfully HD02 isn't out!
Does seem HD03 didn't go empty to Manchester, is it still running the diagram?

Yes it still shows as running the rest of the diagram.
One of the coaches had an electrical issue on a door. Today's the one day without any spares either.
Obviously it can't be totally guaranteed for a variety of reasons on the day but there should be the full set of diagrams out tomorrow.
There's been a lot of recruitment lately on the catering side so more often than not there is a full complement of on board staff now. If anything is uncovered it's generally early or later in the day, the breakfast and lunch services prioritised whereber possible as they're busier
Fingers crossed everything goes to plan and you have a good trip/lunch.

Good to see them running with some semblance of reliability.
I'm looking to sample the onboard meal service in the near future, I'm wondering if anyone knows whether this needs to be booked separately, or if I just need to ask the attendant in first class?

They come around with menus to everyone in first class.

Is 67013 okay after it’s little bump with that 323 today?

Which sets are out tomorrow? HD01 didn't finish it's diagram today and HD04 is on exam, which set is doing 1V33? HD02? (hopefully not)
01 won't be back for a while and 02 is currently out of use too, 02 requires parts AFAIK.
V33 should be HD07, the other Crewe start diagram is down for a unit, suddenly quite a shortage of usable sets.

The first diagram off Crewe was uncovered due to yesterday's issue. 67010 has failed on the depot so that's not been able to run either.
Reliability has really dropped to being extremely poor.

What happened?
The
i own a car with the usual complex systems. It is a few years old yet - virtually- never breaks down. Genuine question - what’s different about trains? Or is it largely reporting bias, whereby problems get amplified?

Is the "Premier" 1714 Cardiff-Holyhead service reliably loco hauled? ISTR they allocate the ex-GC sets to that service and I was hoping that they ringfenced these diagrams for 67s and Mk 4s. Whereas I have been subbed for units every single very time I've attempted Mk 4s on the Manchester diagrams.
I have a first class advance as far as Shrewsbury in September and was hoping for the full three courses with wine!

More often than not that one is Mk4. The allocation of sets just depends which is where, you could end up with an ex-LNER or an ex-GC, it just depends on the day!

It's a mix of the two sets and it is a fairly reliable one, the only times it isn't is when the set fails or they're swapping in a set on the morning run the next day, you should be okay though.

What are the chances of the 1455 from Swansea to Manchester being worked by a mk 4 set, the timetable seems to think it might be? https://tfw.wales/sites/default/files/2024-05/4_Cardiff-Manchester_June-2024_V1.pdf
Looking at Real Time Trains for last Sunday, it didn't happen.

9 times out of 10 it's a Mk4, last Sunday one was stuck in Manchester so the crew who'd have prepped it were sent to retrieve that one otherwise in general it runs as a Mk4.

HD07 is coming out from Crewe at 15:30 stepping into 1W19, with 67015 now on the set.
Things are looking more promising for the weekend, HD01 has been released, HD02 has completed a test run and HD05 has been returned from tyre turning, although will stop yet again for a minor exam for the early part of next week.
Saturday should have HD02 and HD06 coming off Crewe with HD01 and HD07 from Cardiff..
Sunday should be HD02 on the Crewe diagram, HD06 on the Cardiff diagram and HD04 acting as spare at Crewe
Going into next week HD01-04/06/07 should all be available barring anymore problems.

Is 67013 still attached to HD01 after its bump in Manchester?
I’ve got Monday and Tuesday in South Wales and hoping for 01 / 03 / 05 and 06
Yes still paired up.
03 will be on the Holyead start on Monday, Crewe start Tuesday. 01 and 06 may be out but there's a spare set at Canton and Crewe.
05 pretty much certain not to be out Mon or Tues as it's on exam so wouldn't pin any hopes on that one.
