TfW withdrawals (170/175 all gone, now just class 15x to go)

[Caaardiff]

Nothing to get too excited about. 175110 was stored so probably being brought back to Chester for maintenance. 010 was likely covering a 158 service yesterday so will get swapped at some point this morning before the Aberystwyth service.

175001 has moved to Ilford last night from Crewe... unknown reason.

Bogie overhaul & H exam

Bogie overhaul & H exam

Any idea why Ilford? Those were previously done at Longsight.

Any idea why Ilford? Those were previously done at Longsight.

Are Longsight dealing with the MK5A cracks at the minute? If so they might not have room

 

[Vanmanyo]

Bogie overhaul & H exam

Is that general maintenance or is that in preparation for hand back? (Obviously, exams are every X months/years so that would have been planned for a while no?)

What's happening with the 175 withdrawals?

Is the plan still for the remaining 2 cars sets to go by the end of the month and the rest by December?

 

[L401CJF]

175011 is stored at Crewe Gresty Green, with 175107.

175109 is currently on Crewe ETD (the DB depot) at Crewe having arrived there on 16th August. Possibly being tyre turned as they have a lathe there but I can’t comment on that for certain!

 

[Western 52]

I was at Holyhead last Saturday but didn't see 001 in the sidings, so maybe somewhere in the loco shed area?

175112 was at Chester on Monday 14th

 

[animationmilo]

175001 is now at Ilford as well, for heavy exam and maintenance.

Thank you, is 175006 at Holyhead too

 

[sd0733]

Thank you, is 175006 at Holyhead too

006 is at Landore.

 

[Western 52]

I didn't see 006 thereat Holyhead last Saturday.

I don't think 175109 is at Crewe ETD for Tyre Turning. The lathe has been out of action for at least a couple of months. TfW units are being sent to Canton for tyre turning. DB engines are being sent to Toton for Tyre Turning.

 

[voyagerdude220]

Trust is showing 197018 on 1V46 14:30 Manchester Picc to Cardiff today. If that's accurate- is that the first time a 197 has worked a Manchester to South Wales service?

Not the first time no, but the first time covering a Mk4 yes.

 

[voyagerdude220]

Not the first time no, but the first time covering a Mk4 yes.

Thanks. I didn't realise they had done before.

 

[Philip]

There are 4 units on Chester sidings, these are 175s 101, 103, 108 and 112. I saw another one in the depot but not sure which one.

Thanks for confirming re: the lathe, I wasn’t 100% sure myself which is why I said I can’t confirm what it went for!

It definitely worked into the ETD on Weds 16th on 5T09, and left again on Friday evening, 5D75 back to Chester. So 175109 is now back on Chester depot.

175109 was in service on Monday 14th as I saw it from my train window. Definitely still around.

175004 is leaving Holyhead ECS this evening for Chester.
Path will be in later for it but should be departing around 2000hrs.

175009 just worked the last passenger train for a 2 car under TfW. 1D13 11.08 Birmingham International to Holyhead between Shrewsbury and Chester.

That service had 2 set swaps enroute, amazing even for TfW!

Sad to see the 175/0 going though, but maybe happier days await them somewhere else...

Hopefully they have a home coming to them.

 

[Techniquest]

Glad I went out and got a snap of it with 175101 the other day then! I have a better photo, but the forum doesn't accept it!

 

[Peter Mugridge]

I have a better photo, but the forum doesn't accept it!

If it's too big to upload, or the wrong format - take a screenshot and post that?
