I guess it depends who the leasing company is. I was up at Holyhead yesterday and couldn't see where it was hiding! 197006 was in the carriage shed

1W93 Cardiff Central - Holyhead showing as being 150229 today. Not sure I'd fancy doing that trip on a 150!! Interesting the return working is not in the system; does that mean there will be a cancellation or that TfW will try and scramble a Mark 4 set up to North Wales later?

So that would explain my frustrations in not finding anything bar the DVT number when it was heading through Prestatyn. Perhaps they'll add them back when it gets a lick of paint.....

Only 2 three car 175s at Chester today. 175101 and 175103 :)

Many thanks for this. Assuming it's back on the Holyheads I'm going to take it for a spin. Perhaps I can figure out where the numbers on it are!

It's probably in a post further up, but does anyone have a list of the set formations? HD01 doesn't seem to have any numbers on one side! Thanks for any help [sorry if it's in wrong thread]

67029 appeared at Crewe this afternoon from Landore with a set with 82200. Only four coaches though so I'm assuming all 4 cars for now?

I did wonder if that was the case, although I assumed that they would have been left somewhere a little more secure and less exposed to the elements / being viewed. Thanks for info :)

Just outside of Stoke on Trent [North of station] there appears to be a collection of ex Southern units and what appeared to be a car from a 158? Any idea what is / why they are there? Many thanks for anyone who has any clue about this randomness :)

Currently sat on 196107 working the 2J14 BNS - Shrewsbury. Running 40 minutes late due to a problem with the brakes on its inbound working. Is this a common issue with these units?

5Z51 is the empty coaching stock move back to Southall. It's related to the earlier 1Z51 that would have come in from Minehead. The 33s working it must be running late? Hope this helps :)

They've done British Rail green, how about further back in time to British Rail black.....

Thank you for that nugget of info. I've done a quick goggle and it relates to the number of service men killed on DDay that he raised all the money for the memorial. Once again thanks for the help

Saw this on 802006 at Newton Abbot. Any reasons why this sits alongside?

Hi all, I just wondered what the TOC's point of view was now that we have reached 19th July.....are they going back to full capacity seating wise or are they still keeping seats out in order to maintain some for of social distancing?
