Internal news stating that HD08 has commenced refurbishment. No news on timescales though.

Duplicated image from the 197 thread, but is this the first day all booked departures out of Manchester are at least planned to be Mk4 operation even if one fails before the end of the day? Nevertheless a great sight

Any mk4s planned out next week or 28th onwards do we know? Thank you.
Only day with none planned out is the 27th.
Fairly standard diagrams from the 28th albeit starting/terminated from Crewe rather than Manchester. The early Crewe-Cardiff diagram only starts at 12:30 though.

I'm assuming most of the work will be carried out at Landore? I've been told the MK4 and DVT there has moved; if so will the MK4s at Bristol be dragged to Landore at some point?

AFAIK the plan was to.do the reactivation work at Landore of both HD08 and the spare DVT. The refurb contract was out to tender so not too sure who won that which will depend where the refurbishment takes place on all 8 sets.

Was this HD02? If so it's vanished!
Yes. Seems the test wasn't too successful for 67014 and it requires a tow back to Crewe.

Fortunately it was in the platform at Shrewsbury and both 67015 (heading to Canton) and 67022 (heading to ATC Crewe) are due back today so can cover for 014. HD02 was spare tomorrow and Sunday so won't affect all the diagrams being covered.

What's the plan for this weekend?

TIA

Report I had was 67025 towed it into Crewe but 67014 took it to ATC
So was the issue the DVT ?
it was originally classed as a loco power fault but now thought to be something on the DVT controls causing the loco to shut down.

Just spotted someone doing maintenance on one of the coaches for HD08 at Barton Hill, maybe getting ready to move them?

1W13 is 197112

Other 3 not showing on RTT
Not too sure why it's not gone this morning but it's hoped to swap it in on 1W63 this afternoon. If it doesn't then HD01 will have to swap out at Crewe at some point to avoid overloading Canton.

Quite possible with the amount of time they've been there. Not too sure on the exact details with 08 at the moment just that it's happening.

There is a booked 5M58 Barton Hill to Shrewsbury Abbey Forgate, any ideas what that might be?
That sounds more like a 158 that's been on maintenance and headed back to Machynlleth (via a stop over in Shrewsbury)

From RTT 1W63 appears to have been mk.4s, which then worked 1V66 as far as Crewe vice DMU - according to RTT 197015 off a 1Z22 FROM Cardiff vice 1M22 detached at Picc ran ECS to Crewe to replace the hauled set - surely they don't haven conductors not right 197s?
