Anyone know the original source? Just curious since this is the third date touted as the last day in the past few weeks, so could see one continuing into Sun/Monday.

This was quite feasible because it was finishing at Rhymney on Friday night. I, for one, am not going to pre-empt anything for Sunday and Monday but just wait and see.

I think until 601 and 609 are on their way to Landore not a lot can be ruled out before Monday. I dont believe theres any planned use past today but thats not to say one cant be pressed into service to cover a 150

So the penalty shoot out continues....

I’m just going to sit back and see what happens, my source either got it wrong or someone came up with a better plan. Anything can happen now.

hope those of you what can get out to enjoy this end of an era have a great time and I look forward to seeing the photos.

609 definitely still on.
Not now it isn't. There were traction problems with 1524 Barry Island to Radyr which terminated at Cardiff Central and the return 2E15 1616 Radyr to Bridgend restarted from Cardiff Cen albeit it late due to coupling problems which finished up with 609 going to Depot..

Oh dear. Good thing I didn't wait until later.

And then there was one...

601 is now last man standing
Ok, disappointing for those who’ve gone out for 609, but from a personal point of view 601 is one of the units I’m involved with in preservation so the bragging rights of being the last pacer in U.K. revenue service is something

I wouldn't hold your breath on seeing a Pacer on the Valley lines tomorrow - virtually everything is cancelled due to 'resource availability'. Thread started here

Here's a photo from Saturday (29 May 2021) at Barry Island at around midday, just arrived from Radyr. I actually did not realise quite what a historic occasion I was witnessing!

Did anyone ride on 143601 on the 2202 off Rhymney on Saturday? I'd have done it but I was away all weekend on a family trip. Completely forgot the significance of this weekend when I booked it.

143601 and 609 are now at Landore after running down on 5Z43 08:05 Canton to Landore this morning so no 14x units left in the TfW fleet

This thread has now run its course and there will be nothing to add so may as well be locked.
