HD06 has had an exam followed by some repair work, wasn't expected to be ready until Monday but if it is makes sense to use it.
No crews available to prep.

Ah right. Unless it's a misallocation of course!
Definitely HD06, as that ones ready HD03 is sitting out having some work done to its water supply. Will be back tomorrow though.

Doing well if we have a spare rake?
Much better than it was. Now that HD05 is back and the B exams are complete (bar HD02) it does help rake availability.

Plenty of comments that set HD01’s end coach is an oven with no working aircon.
That set had some modules replaced last week. The other 4 coaches are much better and now get complaints they're too cold! The TOE coach by the loco is now extremely warm, seems to be some form of control fault and several fixes have been attempted but nothing is curing it. Hopefully it gets stopped one day this week to get it properly sorted out.

I was actually quite surprised at how much vibration is transmitted into the end coach by the loco!

Seems to have been resolved, had a quick visit to that coach earlier and all seems well with green lights glowing and cool air.

How come they go to Manchester all of a sudden? Thought they just test them to Shrewsbury and back?

Training runs
Its a shakedown run for 029. Not quite sure what it needs one for after it ran up from Cardiff today but thats what it's in as.
Believe it's because Shrewsbury often turns into a signal to signal stagger one way or the other following other services whereas Warrington should give it a chance to get up to speed. It also has the added bonus of acting as a route refresh.
No, 06 stands down to spare and HD04 takes its place then Wednesday 06 should return with 05 standing down for the day.
