Cheers sd0733, currently off to pay a final homage to the Welsh Pacers, having lost our own in Newcastle what feels like forever ago!

143609/150227 have just passed Llandaf empty having ended up with a fault at Cardiff Central.

The 150 diagram now appears to be 150255 running solo.

Edit: 607 still out and about too.

Seems that the updated pacers are now:
101- still 143602
102- still 143607 ends Rhymney so should be 101 tomorrow
103- 143616 ends Treherbert so.should be 104 tomorrow.
104- 150

143601 should be back out on 13:58 Cardiff to Merthyr, 15:06 to BarryI, 16:43 Treherbert, 18:27 Bridgend, 20:38 Radyr, 22:07 Cardiff

Gen received that 143622+143625 did 5Z43 from Canton to Landore today. Likely that another pair will go tomorrow and Friday leaving just two potentially to help out with the Bank Holiday crowds on Monday.

That should quieten the doubters who say they will have to have another extensions because TFW won't be able to manage

I suppose they could always come back until they get smashed to pieces. Not that I expect them to do so. Next week will certainly be interesting if the 769s don't step up to the mark.

I doubt they will last beyond Saturday. I think it is 602 and one other off tomorrow so that leaves four or five useable units for the rest of the week. Forget any talk of an extension I happen to know that sales have gone through and the units end on or before May 31st but I strongly suspect the last day in traffic will be Saturday as the survivors will go ECS on Sunday or Monday.

When you say “sales have gone through” is that to a scrapyard or preservation? I guess most or all will be scrapped ?

It looks as though the answer will be NIL but cannot definitely confirm that and will have to ask on Saturday. There will only two left
