HD01-03 all ran as 4 car sets with a TO (124xx) rather than the TOD (123xx) vehicle from introduction until November/December 2022 when they had SDO fitted and the TOD vehicle added in lieu of the TO. These are now being added back in to make them upto 5 car.

Welshguy1048 said:

I know. I just tried to change the description. Not sure how to change it properly.

Is someone able to do it for me please? - the post looks untidy as it is.

Just by the 'Report' button there should be three dots that give you the option to edit

Hi Luke

There are no 3 dots by the report button.

I am using an android phone - so maybe that is why the dots are not there.

It's now planned for 67010 to head down on Thursday to collect HD02 and take it to Crewe for its B exam and 5 car.

HD06 should go out for a test run soon too potentially on Friday but more likely early next week.

Don't think it's on RTT yet but should be heading back around 0900 tomorrow with HD02.

That said, there's not a hope for taking the engine on and off at Swansea, or anywhere else. It would require a shunter and quite a lot of time and hassle. More likely they'd just shunt the entire set up the depot and back.

Presumably both Landore and the IEP depot have diesel on tap… doesn’t seem like an insurmountable problem to fuel in Swansea and have a fuller service?

craigybagel said:

I just meant the chances of unhooking the 67 and sending it light to the depot between trips for servicing are pretty much non existent.

Looks like 1V50, the only service of the day to Swansea was a 197. Fingers crossed there’s a MkIV on Friday as I’ve promised my grandmother dinner on board!

Was a headlight issue on 67013/HD05, it's now planned to pick up the diagram at Crewe tomorrow at 07:32.

HD07 is down for the diagram including 1V50 on Friday.

Oh yes, I'm sure there's no major issues with fuelling and servicing at Swansea (subject to the usual issues of staffing and pathing and so on). I just meant the chances of unhooking the 67 and sending it light to the depot between trips for servicing are pretty much non existent.
