Quite a few changes to the plan there (see my bold) beyond the ones we already knew about with 197s instead of 170 now intended for Pembrokeshire. What is going to happen with the 230s and 231s now that their work is planned to be covered by 197s? The list seems to be a bit confused in relation to north Wales though, with Llandudno only mentioned in relation to the Conwy Valley service so possibly the list isn't entirely accurate.The Class 197s will be operating on the following lines when in service:
North Wales Coast (Holyhead-Manchester/Birmingham)
Cardiff-Holyhead
Conwy Valley Line (Llandudno-Blaenau Ffestiniog)
Borderlands Line (Wrexham-Bidston)
Chester-Liverpool
Marches Line (Cardiff-Manchester/Liverpool)
Cambrian Line (Birmingham-Aberystwyth/Pwllheli)
Ebbw Vale Line (Ebbw Vale-Cardiff/Newport)
Maesteg-Cheltenham
Manchester-Milford Haven
Cardiff-Fishguard
Swansea-Pembroke Dock
