Does anyone happen know exact day the 143's will stop. They are due to finish on Monday 31 May but that's a bank holiday and I've heard several people say it will be the Friday the 28 May. The 142's finished earlier than planned because of the Christmas break.
I see there has been a 4th 769 path added today, not that 769's are running on all these paths due to availability.
The new path is (769007 is on this today):
5D06 0515 Cardiff Canton Sidings to Penarth
2D06 0607 Penarth to Bargoed
2P57 0746 Bargoed to Penarth
2D09 0907 Penarth to Bargoed
2P60...
769452 working the 2P16 on Friday
1619429105
As previously mentioned a 3rd 769 has been added to the paths today. Today we have 769003, 007 and 452 on passengers services.
As far as I can tell the 3 passenger paths will be as follows:
5P05 0551 Cardiff Canton Sidings to Cardiff Central
2P05...
Yes Cardiff crews are undertaking a week of intensive training to pass out on them
1614581885
I thought I could only see 1 crew member which made me think mileage runs.
Yes all 3 have had a faults today 452 replaced by 008 at Rhymney, 008 then had issues at Lisvane and as you say returned to Canton and 006 has been replaced by 150242. Not a very good day.
2 769’s in passenger service today passing a few mins apart at Llanbradach. Confirmation of numbers would be appreciated.
769006 2P07 0702 Rhymney to Penarth and
769452 2R06 0633 Penarth to Rhymney running 14 late. First 769/4 in passenger service. 22.2.2021
