The 1137 Paddington - Cardiff is the one i'm talking about which returns to Waterloo at 1913, both call at Swindon... rumoured to be MK2's?

Due to Cardiff hosting the Rugby tomorrow and specials coming in from London (which I'm aiming to phot at Swindon) does anyone know what will be running them? Arriva TW are sending out the WAG on 1V41 tomorrow (0625 off Holyhead) and back on 1W91 (2120 off Cardiff) First GW have a special...

Managed to get a reservation on the system but once I got on the voyager the reservation didn't even show!

Well Arriva's Loco Hauled Diagram: 0531 Holyhead - Cardiff Central 0958 (1V31) 1821 Cardiff Central - Holyhead 2258 (1W84) Should be a 67 and 4 MK3's with a DVT on the back :)

the air-con on the ATW 158's are rubbish, hence the windows are open but the occasional ATW unit (830 last check) had working air-con but a useless guard opened the window...therefore breaking the air-con... WOOPS!

LM 153's are now: 334/356/364/365/366/371/375 Shrewsbury diagrams have the following : 1x153+170/5 (4 car) 1x170/6 (3 car) 1x170/5+170/5 (4 car) Marston Vale: 1x150 1x153 Coventry-Nuneaton 1x153 Stourbridge/Dorridge: 172 (5 car) 170+153 (4 car) 172 (4 car) 172 (3 car) The Shrewsbury's can and...

Unit 24 C6 & Refurbishment 158818 15 days Mon 1/10/12 Fri 19/10/12

002+003 worked 1W71 currently running 47 late at Shrewsbury due to an "unusually large passenger flow! :roll:

The livery looks fantastic except for the nice blank area where the WAG symbol should be (due to WAG deciding to change their logo once the refurb had started)...WOOPS!

This is Northern Rail....anything can turn up or any diagram, more than likely that the Man Vic unit will be a 150 with the Liverpool unit turning up a 156 but 142's head up there quite frequently from both hubs...so it's a scratch 'n' win situation!

Unfortunately our 158's are still fitted with the very-rubbish working air-con that never likes to work so the windows are kept open!...it's a great atmosphere onboard the refurbished 158's!...not had a complaint as yet! :D

SWT have taken the 158 to help increase capacity of the home fleet on the Weymouth area due to the olympics, they can't increase the use of 444's due to electric power restraints so are sending 159's down, so the normal 158 is most likely heading to Waterloo more now in place of a 159, meaning...

Firstly - 67008 could have gone anywhere, could be heading to Toton for exam, could be running as an 0Z headcode due to no returning freight... anything is possible on the TPE route, i'd place a bet on a move to Warrington! Secondly the VTA tanks would have most likely been the ex-Neville Hill...

if it sounds simple, it sounds like the engines are just shunting more power to the electrics to make sure the interlocking and doors complete and to get them ready for what should be a long stint of journey!
