Is there any way to know what unit(s) will run on a service this Sunday?

I really just want to know how many carriages a special service is going to have & if it's worth aiming for this service or not.

Just in case it is possible, here are the details from RTT.

1V68 0849 Crewe to Milford Haven
Departing on 16th August 2026

I don't think there's anyway to know for certain. It's listed as dividing at Carmarthen so it should be at least 4 carriages from Crewe to there.

@sd0733 is this something you might be able to help with?

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.
