12 months was the estimated timescale for that one to be ready.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
Only day with none planned out is the 27th.Any mk4s planned out next week or 28th onwards do we know? Thank you.
No, booked for a 197@sd0733
Morning
Is this a MK4 set moving from Crewe to Holyhead later?

197024 according to RTT.
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?Internal news stating that HD08 has commenced refurbishment. No news on timescales though.
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.I'm assuming most of the work will be carried out at Landore?

Just being done to get 67029 back to Canton earlier for an overnight loco exam.RTT showing 67010 & 67029
Changing diagrams
Yes. Seems the test wasn't too successful for 67014 and it requires a tow back to Crewe.Was this HD02? If so it's vanished!Realtime Trains | 5Z84 1035 Crewe C.S. to Crewe C.S. | 20/12/2024

What's the plan for this weekend?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.

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.Report I had was 67025 towed it into Crewe but 67014 took it to ATC
So was the issue the DVT ?
Everything is down as covered!What's the plan for this weekend?

Just spotted someone doing maintenance on one of the coaches for HD08 at Barton Hill, maybe getting ready to move them?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.
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.1W13 is 197112

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.Just spotted someone doing maintenance on one of the coaches for HD08 at Barton Hill, maybe getting ready to move them?
That sounds more like a 158 that's been on maintenance and headed back to Machynlleth (via a stop over in Shrewsbury)There is a booked 5M58 Barton Hill to Shrewsbury Abbey Forgate, any ideas what that might be?
