I'm under the assumption that the plan is to try run all 5 diagrams as much as possible with the 6 sets they have, not sure about the exam dates and when the next rounds are coming up but hoping it lasts a while!

Any updates for tomorrow's starters yet please?

Tomorrow should be:
HD03- Canton start 1W11
HD04- Crewe start 1V31
HD06- Crewe start 1V33
HD07- Canton start 1W13

Sunday should then be HD03 on the Canton diagram and HD06 on the Crewe.

No not really, It'll be the 4 diagrams but potentially like today there may be an extra half diagram run on a Thursday or Friday effectively as stock moves to get sets to Canton for a Saturday. Unless a set is kept spare at Canton all week.

I see 1W11/1V37/1W61/1V62 is a unit next week, I'm now pondering whether I want to book 1V50 on the 7th of August from Crewe to Cardiff as I know that has been a unit most of this week, thanks for the update though!

Yes 1V50 has been a 197 every day bar today, but the amended diagrams this week is that one.
7th August is a 'normal' week and V50 is on a 67 diagram that week.

Oddly today 1W55 & 1V42 are 197112 which was the old Saturday unit turn.

67012 Set 4 1W61 & 1V62 Cardiff
67015 Set 7 1W63 Crewe

Likely the outcome of 1W11 being a set instead of a unit, which instead of having a set come off Crewe it just forms 1V37 back to Cardiff.

Just seems odd, when last Saturday
The set worked 1V31, 1W55, 1V42, 1W63 as a diagram.

Today 1V31 set has a 7 hour layover
At Cardiff.

Reverted to the old diagrams they used to run before the December TT change for some reason? That's how I remember them being, anyway.

A full house of ex-GC sets planned out tomorrow, HD04 from Cardiff, HD05 from Holyhead, HD06 (1V31 start) and HD07 (1V33 start) from Crewe.

Of the red sets, HD01 is having some more work done at Crewe and HD03 is the Canton spare.

HD02 progress is coming along well I've been told.

This video shows Worksop with plenty of MK4s around, this thing that caught my attention is that the set is inside the shed with 82229 and another coach in the yard, with what looks to be a different DVT inside the shed with the rest of the set, spotted at around 7 minutes and 37 seconds in. You can see it next to the Class 93. Is this 82220? 82204 is spotted earlier on in the video with a coach too.
