Ex LNER (and Grand Central) Mark 4 sets for TfW

[Western 52]

I think a person was hit by a train in the Baglan area this morning, so 1W56 ended up cancelled Swansea to Cardiff.

They weren't hit but the line was closed. So as it happens it would have been stuck anyway.

Tomorrow 67014 is on a test run but using HD04 rather than HD07. It does mean the loco will be able to return to service but does mean the 6:27 from Manchester will be a unit tomorrow but HD02 will pick up the rest of the diagram.

Good to see HD03 returning! Also isn't 1630 Manchester to Swansea and not Manchester to Cardiff?

 

[sd0733]

Yes it's been a while!
Also yes to that, habit of writing Cardiff! It's still a Swansea

Ha! Its expected to be honest. I saw it at Canton whilst passing towards Ninian Park and now its finally returning. When I can, I will take a look. I wonder if there will ever be an opportunity to get all 7 somehow out at the same time, though the chances of that are basically impossible due to exam timings. But good to get another set back

Perhaps if HD08 ever materialises then 7 sets could be possible but will rely on train crew with the right competencies in the right place.

Can't be certain as doesn't seem to be a path out yet but looks to be a ROG 37 off a scrap move so would seem highly likely that it will be to collect 12477 for HD05 plus the ends of HD08 as barriers.

Slight swap now to the above diagram. 1W96 should be the first trip for HD03 with 1W23 staying as HD06.

Post #4000 with the diagrams updated.

 

[BillStampy]

HD03 just seen on railcam on 1W96 to Holyhead, welcome back to service!

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K00288/2024-02-08/detailed there's our answer, seems the 37 is taking the MK4s up to Crewe on Thursday, also making a return trip to Landore

The d 0533 Holyhead, posted as 67015 in the above, RTT shows no details of traction, other than RTT, is there a website which has real-time information for 67015?

Most of the Mk4 sets show in detailed on RTT but it's not showing with that set. Not sure of any other live sites that will show it.
I try and post when I can when know them (today's were posted a few days ago in post 4000 of this thread)

There isn’t, but if you’re on Facebook “The Official Class 67 Group” posts workings on a daily basis.

What makes it “official”? I’ll bet it isn’t endorsed by EMD, Alstom/Stadler, DB Cargo or Colas…

Nothing, it’s just the name whoever has set it up has chosen. The gen is reliable though which is why I mentioned it.
