Just seen a GBRF Class 66 head north through Bucknell? Any idea what that is about?

Do we know if transport for Wales are intending on running the usual special from Cardiff Central to Builth Road during the Royal Welsh week? Obviously last year didn’t go to plan with cancellations. Presumably if so, it will be a pair of 150s or such like..

Do we know what progress (if any) is being made on this by TfW?

We all know that the HOWL is never going to have the most convenient timetable for all / or for commuting. However - what frustrates me at the moment is that commuting from Bucknell to Hereford in the morning is fine, the 0649 from Bucknell allows me 6 mins at Craven Arms for the 0705 down the...

Just wondering whether or not any current diagrams up and down the marches are scheduled to be anything other than 175s? Or, whether a 150, 158 is appearing regularly on certain services?

Today I used the 1540 from Shrewsbury to Ludlow (Manchester - Milford Haven) and then the 1617 from ludlow to Craven Arms (bound for Manchester). Both units were Class 158! Seeing as though all marches services are diagrammed for 175s this seems odd as I though ATW had no spare stock, they...

I was wondering whether or not anyone has spotted any class175s on Birmingham to holyheads. I have seen class 175 on the 0821 from shrews to Holyhead from brum, is this a class 175 on saturdays too?

The 0834 Church Stretton - Manchester failed (emergency breaks applied apparently) about 500ft from the station this morning. I was waiting at the station along with a surprisingly fair few other passengers however the departure boards just got rid of both the 0834 and 0905 Holyhead, no mention...

The 0834 from church stretton (ex Cardiff) was a class 158 instead of the usual class 175 this morning. Is this permanent after the timetable change or just a replacement. Also, any other recent sightings of 158s or 153s or 150s on the marches. Especially between shrewsbury and Hereford.

Platform 3 at Shrewsbury does not seem to be used much now after it it was used for most xx24 departures to Holyhead, from Cardiff in 2011/2012. Does anyone know what services it is use for now, I can think that it is just the 1824 B. International - Llandudno?
