Should now run empty over to Crewe tomorrow.

All the 153/3 vehicles of the Active Travel units have been through Crewe ATC for heavy exams/overhauls. 153312, the spare vehicle is currently there for the same work so seems a good chance of it being that.

Not sure exactly yet but HD04-07 are all down as available on Saturday. If all 4 go out, 3 will be Crewe starts with one swapping in.

HD01 is trapped by a yard incident at Holyhead and wont leave until Monday. Same as happened today, 1V33 from Manchester will form 1W57 from Cardiff and 1V39 will form 1W61.

It is now yes, swap in on W61 at Crewe

Should have been. Had a loco swap ready for tomorrow but obviously some issue cropped up since. A really bad few days for coverage of that diagram.

HD01 is swapping into 1W61/1V62 to get it to Canton HD02 and 06 are on tyre turn. HD03 LED light fitment HD04/05/07 covering the Crewe/Holyhead starts tomorrow

Down to lack of space on Crewe ATC tonight so HD01 will stable at ETD instead and run back for tanking, cleaning, fueling etc tomorrow.

Looks like it had Gearbox issues at Wrexham on 21st July, made it to Cardiff and back then swapped out at Chester and now parked up at the back of the Middle yard ever since. 1786797541 Theres updated ASDO software on some of the Cambrian units (not sure which) but those units cant multi with...

Obviously what happens on the day may differ but its booked for a 5 car 197. 1786734152 Its showing in the unit diagram as remaining coupled all day, only splitting at Shrewsbury in the evening, the 3 car then goes onto Abbey Foregate, the 2 car ECS to Chester.

Not sure about 028 as been out so long its information has dropped off the system. 013 had a gearbox failure at Swansea and limped off to Landore the next day and remains there. Others not used recently are: 197008 at Holyhead for several months, 197014 at Chester since around December 197020...

General poor availability of sets I believe. Yes, in that window is the current plan.

W/c 31st August also STP to a 197 diagram so 7th September now the earliest for a restart (so far)

AFAIK theres still some Cardiff Mainline crews booked on 158s between Chester and Shrewsbury. 1786457886 197 introduction Now postponed for September, likely delay of 4-6 weeks due to unit issues.

Correct. Change of plan from the original intention and be none operating Wednesday or Thursday.
