No its not been out. The set was just going to act as a load for 025s test run but HD07 performed that role instead.

Yes that's the plan once it returns from its test run to go onto HD07

Today at Crewe depot (4/12/24):

67025 connected to HD02

Question: Was HD07 in service today? Thought it was meant to be on depot for a few days?

Special Christmas menu has launched - unfortunately I won’t get a chance to try it. Has anyone?

Unfortunately - apart from short hops such as Manchester-Crewe - I'm unlikely to find myself travelling TfW Premier until February, so I'll miss the Christmas menu....but I'm sure it will be superior to LNER's paltry offering.

I sampled the Christmas Menu on the 1430 Manchester Piccadilly - Cardiff today (67016).
Starter was a very tasty vegetable soup. Main course salmon fillet and mash. Christmas Pudding for dessert. Accompanied by a couple of cans of IPA.
Definitely worth the effort!

Sounds pretty decent!

Out of interest what's the MK4 plan for Saturday, please? Aiming to try the new menu.
Thanks in advance!
As it stands all 4 diagrams should be covered on Saturday with HD01 and HD04 on the starts from Cardiff and HD02 and HD06 on the starts from Crewe.

Repaired 67017 is planned to head light engine to Cardiff tomorrow morning to replace 67006 as the Canton standby loco, 006 will then run light back to DB at Crewe once it's replacement arrives.

AFAIK it needs a visit to the load bank before it's released back into service, excessive engine vibrations in high notches i believe was the reason

I'll be travelling north from Cardiff tomorrow evening. What's the expectation for a loco-hauled set and a meal on the 17:14 (1W96) or 18:55 (1W65)?

67025 connected to HD07.

Side note: I travelled on 67015 HD06 on the 12:51 off Shrewsbury to Manchester Piccadilly (I got off at Crewe) and it was full and standing because of an Emergency incident on the Shrewsbury to Birmingham line. The line was closed. Bit chaotic it must be said.

I believe 1W96 is HD01 and 1W65 should be HD04. Both planned to be sets though!
Neither of those are the planned sets! HD01 is down as the Canton spare with HD03 on the evening Holyhead
HD04 is planned a Canton finish tomorrow, set swap planned with it working 1W19/1V50 after it works from Holyhead in the morning

Bahaha! Unlucky guess! Assumed HD01 was going to be on the 1W11 diagram as it was spare today but it seems I am wrong, simply followed the expected diagram for 04, get unlucky sometimes!

The rest of the week that would have been spot on too.
Bit different tomorrow for loco/rake exams over the weekend and next week.

Anybody have any idea what the new timetable will do with the loco hauled diagrams yet?

By the looks of it, the Swansea starting diagram is still showing as MK4, not to mention it has advance first class tickets available by the looks of things

If I am not mistaken, I think we have that diagram returning
