Long term stopped 197045 has worked a 5T45 Chester TMD - Crewe - Chester TMD test run today.First working since 29/11/25 as far as I know.
Anyone know when it moved from Cardiff Canton - Chester?
Thanks,
There was a 3Z00 Crewe South Yard - Chester TMD on Monday 11/05/2026.Nothing was allocated in Trust so must have run as a ROG move.
197040 was obviously involved as it entered service from Chester yesterday,but perhaps 197041 also moved to Chester at the same time.
Going backwards.
Started the day with just 5/6 diagrams.810019 appears to have terminated at Leicester working 1C17 so down to jus 4 diagrams already.
Does not appear to be any test or driver training runs scheduled for today unless 5Q63 runs from Old Dalby to St Pancras later with 810003...
They now have 10 units available for service.They should be running 8 diagrams a day now instead of 5/6.
Also testing is due to resume from Merchants Park tonight after a 2 - 3 week gap
Pretty much par for the course at the moment unfortunately.Presume CAF will be paying the bill for the lack of units in traffic though.

That's six units back at Holyhead now.
Today's moves -
5W40 Crewe South Yard - Llandudno Junction and 5N42 return.Reported as 197041 rather than the expected 197040.I would have expected 197041 to run as a Q path and when did it move from LNWR to South Yard
5H99 Holyhead...
There were two test runs between Crewe South Yard and Chester in the early hours this morning 5Q31 - 5Q34 inclusive.Anyone know the allocation for these?197041?
197038 has worked 5T38 Crewe South Yard - Chester TMD for preparation to service.
There is also a 5T27 Crewe Electric Depot -...
There does not appear to be any driver training runs on the MML today at all.
Even the 5Q40 Old Dalby - Kettering and 5Q43 return don't appear to be running.
There is a 5Q15 Etches Park - Merchants Park in for later presumably for 810015 returning for scrapping hopefully.The same path was in for...
