Must of fixed HD05 then if it's back out again...

 

[BillStampy]

It was the locomotive that was the issue yesterday, nothing to do with the set.

HD07/67012 allocated to 1W96 this evening.

Hasn’t made it very far mind, 1V33 failed at Leominster and empty to Cardiff with yet another door fault for HD05.

Again?? Someone needs to get to the bottom of whatever door fault is haunting that set.

HD05 seems to be a bit unreliable at the moment...

Today seems to be a nightmare on the Marches.

A couple of services had long waits on their way north and therefore turned at Crewe.

 

[ThatOneWelsh]

Hi all, is Set 7 still set to head out on 1W96.

Seems they've been giving TfW a headache lately

Thanks!

Points failure at Hereford

Alright, so what would lead to HD07 deploying to Platform 2 and then just mossying back to the depot with a depot driver

That's odd.. 5W96 is coming back out of Canton now, real question is is it HD07?

 

[ThatOneWelsh]

Have decided to take the chance and not go on the 1823 Chester and see if it is HD07

Cue the 2 coach 197!

In all seriousness, lets see what happens!

 

[ThatOneWelsh]

It looks like HD07!

 

[BillStampy]

It looks like HD07!

That's good, hope your journey goes well, supposing it gets started!

 

[ThatOneWelsh]

It is HD07!

Thank you! Hoping to make it all the way now!
