Likely when they have another option, which they currently dont.

personally arrive in time for the gwr, if the tfw is there take it if not buy a single to cardiff and then connect

Likely to retain 15x competency or due to a lack of 197s as they are working routes they werent planned to, as well as having poor availablity. This is a ideal service to replace as starts and ends at canton. Although i regularly use this train travelling from trips away and it can be frustrating.

We have had houndreds of wildfires this summer so personally a alert asking people to avoid lighting fires is a good call. Maybe not the emergency one though...

So thats the loco that just came up on my tiktok and the rescue unit :lol:

They dont have any time left before a exam is the issue. Better chance of 153s but that would need a conversion course. Personally id take them and put them with a 150.

perhaps the fire served a purpose. Give it a lick of paint and it might look a little inviting.

Still more reliable than the others

It can be a little bumpy but the pembroke dock branch has seen a good deal of track renewal in recent years so only in some stretches.

I dont think its fair to blame the 175s given 16x stock has been used on this route for several years now.

Perhaps the signaller is more for the heritage railway?

I must say, not sure why but green doesnt suit them in my opinion.

153333 and 153935

Hi all, seen some posts about a set of 153s being sent back to landore. Will this be the end for that pair or could they come back again?

Id take having aircon on my buses here in west wales. Well in excess of 30 degrees.

Cardiff queen street? Comes in from bay and central, to go onto rhymney, merthyr ans heath low level - admittedly on 2 junctions

Perhaps even sending the best northern 150s to gwr land to act as either donors or spares.

How can you ride a 175 between newport and bristol when they have never served that route? They previously worked the marches with atw and tfw and now work exeter / plymouth to penzance. I would agree however these issues should be mostly resolved, but equally i thought they were introduced...

Unless its being used as a way to keep cardiff mainline drivers qualified on them to get them onto canton from swansea and central - as i believe they will be maintained there after the rest of the 15x fleet leaves.

So the west gets the 3 car 165s which are less suitable for the lengthy workings and are apparently less desirable within gwr as only 1 wc. That seems a bit short sighted personally. I do hope they dont become a regular sight on the pompy service.
