I am lost on what this means for 1W11 on Monday and (selfishly) Tuesday.
Arent we all!!
Theres still 2 at Canton for Monday morning so there should be both W11 and W13 running on Monday omwards.

Thats obviously with a rather large caveat at the moment that nothing happens between now and then!

RTT says 1W55 is 197125, sad as I am currently in Cardiff with a BritRail pass and a full day to spend doing something

It will be unfortunately, got a bit lost in the posts above due to changing 4 times in the course of the afternoon but there were only 2 sets out today.

HD02 on 1W11 this morning. There were actually 4 people in Coach A when I got on, which is a new record for the front carriage at Pontypool. Filling up a little as it makes its way north, but definitely glad to have more carriages for the post Shrewsbury section.

Booked my tickets after 23:00 last night. Managed to pick up a cheap first class advance on tomorrow's 18:30 from Piccadilly. Not sure if that is a good thing from a TfW perspective, but good from my perspective :lol:

Abandon that, HD02 is still junk. Got to change at Shrewsbury.

How hard is it to have 5 sets in service all day?

Of course they only found a 2-car 197 which was already open to Shrewsbury passengers.

Yes, better than an hours delay, but means a very uncomfortable journey and no delay repay.

May be something to do with yesterday... upon departure from Wilmslow on 1W61, which I was on, we had an interlock issue in which the door locks released themselves at around 3 mph.
