Looks like they will limp it to Crewe.

Sounds like it's not going beyond Crewe based on that last automated announcement.

Yes. So you are on this one.
Cancelled All the way now. HD04 was failed for a second time today, for a door fault this time.
The unit being used to go Crewe to Manchester now going to Cardiff in lieu of the other failed set.
A really poor day all round.

In coach A.
The 5 coach 197 needs to split at Manchester so the 2 coach can work the 20;30 train

Yes, it just went past looking all nice and moving.
The 197013 that seems to be set for this one after Crewe (cosy) could just attach to that 3-car was what I was thinking, rather than running the 2 and 3 separately.
I would normally be in A, but the 1st was only a couple of pounds more today so B it is.

What is the probability of being overtaken by the 19:30?
Almost certain. Looks like dragging back into the station is the likely outcome at this point unfortunately.

Plan A is to put us onto the 2-car 20:30 according to the announcement.

Sounds highly likely considering the guard is talking about the 20;30 service

I suppose it is good that we are near Crewe.
Because of the lack of power on this thing my laptop will give up in a minute.

1Z99 is not even at Sandbach. There’s a northern stopper in front of it.

And there goes the delayed 19;30 to Cardiff

1Z99 currently between Holmes Chapel and Goostrey behind 2H44, the Northern stopper.

Isn’t traksy brilliant. Can watch the delay getting longer than they tell us in real time.
They were talking like 1Z99 would be with us in a few minutes so we could move before 20:30
2H44 looped at Chelford

With the latter going into Chelford Loop to allow the former to pass.
The stopper has been put into Chelford loop to allow 1Z99 past.

I'm surprised it isn't '0Z99' for the light engine.

Announcement still saying that they will have a loco soon and get the power back on. I like the optimism.
I think they always use 1Z99 for rescue?

Yeah I did see on OpenTrainTimes, funny how we sent our messages pretty much at the same time.

1Z99 is getting close.
14 minutes until the 20:30 is booked to leave
