As a result of the reported dragging brakes on HD05 a few changes for the weekend too, HD05 is expected out of use over the weekend.

HD01 and HD02 are planned as the Crewe starts still with HD06 and HD07 as the Canton starts, HD06 has had its exam delayed by a day but is planned back to Crewe tomorrow now.

Sunday is now planned for HD02 out of Crewe and HD07 from Canton

Monday should then see HD01 and HD07 on Cardiff starts, HD02 and HD04 out of Crewe and HD03 out of Holyhead. 04 is then finally planned to stop again for its exam.

Will HD04 stop on Monday after it's been out for it's exam?

Both recently off exam as well !

008 set 1, 1W57 onwards
1W61 - Unit

Disgraced set now sat in the centre road at Shrewsbury with 022 arriving to return it to Crewe.

1V33 was covered by 197120 from Shrewsbury onwards, which was due to couple to 1V35. Saved a cancellation at least

What was the failure do we know?

Loco had intermittent power issues. Died arriving into Shrewsbury but limped into the platform, came back into life again but short lived. Hopefully if that’s all then fingers crossed 022 can be swapped into it to keep HD02 out tomorrow!

Evening

RTT has 1V91 in the morning as 197008....


Has there been a problem with 67025 and/or HDO3 ?....

Dave
Several cancellations put through this evening for between Cardiff and Shrewsbury tomorrow including 1V91 and 1W96. Looks like that diagram will be cancelled with HD03 remaining in situ for Tuesday.

Are those cancellations due to the bridge problem at Cardiff Central?
Yes. Most of the Holyheads are just running between Holyhead and Shrewsbury with extra stops inserted into a lot of the Manchester services to cover.

Is it likely to be resolved by Tuesday? I'm in Chester and planning a stop at Shrewsbury to have a look round that morning.

Hopefully, it's showing as until the end of tomorrow. But there's always potential for these things to slip as it progresses so definitely worth keeping an eye on it. There's still services running so you would get back anyway.
