67025 had an air leak so had to be taken off.
67025+HD03 are planned to pick up the diagram at Crewe at either 17:30 to Manchester or 19:10. Loco has had it's exam combined with repairs and will now stay on HD03.
HD02 is out on its test run, it will then stop for exam when it gets back meaning HD04 will continue on Crewe-Crewe diagrams for at least another day before it's stopped.
HD05 is due back to ATC tomorrow following tyre turning.
HD07 is now planned to have 67016 put on, replacing 67010 in the downtime at Canton tomorrow with 016 planned to power the evening Holyhead tomorrow evening.
Evening
Does anyone know if 1W96 will be Loco leading from Chester tonight please?
Thank you
Dave
@sd073367029 is due a C exam at DB so will come off HD04 tonight and be replaced by 67022. It's unlikely to be out much as it's planned to stand down, spare for a day or 2 then B exam.
Tomorrow HD01 is planned to swap diagrams at Cardiff after 1V42, forming 1W96 with HD06 will also swap amd work back to Crewe where it'll stop for exam over the weekend.
Hi.
@sd0733Hi.
I can't confirm that it's actually happened yet but it's certainly still the intention to swap.
It's shown as allocated to 67016+HD07 now so looks promising!
AWS fault on HD07.1W96 not left yet 17.57
016 set 7 failed
1W65 now a unit.
3 sets at Canton ?
Barring an on the day failure, it's very rare for a Crewe starting diagram (which that one is) to be substituted so the odds are very good for a Mk4.Whats the chances of the 1340 from Shrewsbury on Tuesday being a mk4 or would I be expecting a unit?
AWS fault on HD07.
67025+HD03 to work 1W26 20:03 Cardiff-Crewe vice 197.

Thanks, I'm likely going to try first class as will have been away camping and some proper food seems appealing, is there any luggage provision?Barring an on the day failure, it's very rare for a Crewe starting diagram (which that one is) to be substituted so the odds are very good for a Mk4.
It's certainly worth a go in first, that one tends to be fully crewed on the catering side. Theres the special menu on the meals at the moment too. Yes there's luggage racks and plenty of space between the seats in there.Thanks, I'm likely going to try first class as will have been away camping and some proper food seems appealing, is there any luggage provision?
Not seen the definite new plan but with HD01 required back in Holyhead and HD06 in Crewe some swaps seem inevitable.Have things changed now
For tomorrow please ?
Thanks
