Both Cardiff start diagrams and the Holyhead start diagram are Mk4s, neither Crewe start is.
Odd... only 1 Mk4 set is showing as being at Canton tonight, 017 clearly never made it onto V62. Besides, it's allocated to V31's diagram tomorrow... unless that's RTT not picking it up yet.

Correct, HD04 was supposed to swap into 1V62 at Crewe. Obviously didnt happen so now on 1V31 in the morning. As it stands now theres 1 diagram from each depot.

Is HD02 planned to be on W11 tomorrow?
Yes, there seems to be an initial plan not to get a set to Holyhead tomorrow night and be lost all weekend so should stick to W11 rather than swap to the W13 diagram.

Yeah, I thought that... thanks for the info. :)

Last question from me for tonight... any chance a swap out on W61/V62 could happen, or if that can't happen, would V91 do W61/V62 vice W57/V46/W65? That way there would be 2 Canton starts on Saturday.

Possibly, all depends if 67015+HD01 are able to be coaxed back, likely require a test run if it is. If not its going to leave Crewe short for Saturday as 67017 is due an exam too.

Anyone know the plan for tomorrow? :)
As long as HD01s test run is succesful, tomorrow has both Crewe starts planned to operate plus the diagram starting with 1W13 from Canton.

Sunday only has the 1, with the Canton diagram running but not the Crewe.

Excellent service on Saturday 26th's 08:30 Manchester Piccadilly to Cardiff Central in First Class, which I joined at Crewe. The "First Class Sandwich" was very good quality and cooked very well. I didn't mind the 40 ish minute delay as it didn't affect my connection. It was just frustrating having a very last minute platform alteration at Crewe which I predicted ages before it was announced.
