New Chiltern Colours for class67

[jopsuk]

Yes- in the timetables the loco-hauled services are "Mainline" and "Silver".

 

[Rhydgaled]

Don't you believe the '4th' on the front page?

Sorry, I posted that in a rush without checking if there was a date on the timetable.

Getting carried away with the imminent new timetable, there's still a week of the old between the works finishing and the new.

Thanks. So, just to double check, the trains I quoted from SprinterGuy should be running (with ex-WSMR stock) from Aug 31st to Sep 2nd then?

 

[Chris B]

Indeed, mainline is london to west midlands (leamington northwards) -all services

And yes, thats my understanding re W&S stOck

Well yes of course, I just thought I'd post them to make it clearer/easier for people to find! :roll:

Oh right...

 

[trainspotter]

Bit of a daft question, but are the 67's running from Snow Hill this week as normal!!!!

They will be running as normal from Moor Street on Monday.

EDIT: Mind you it is a bank holiay so I'm not sure what will happen then.

 

[Chris B]

Not this week, no.

None on Monday, either.

 

[trainspotter]

Cheers guys!!!!

 

[craig87034]

Not sure if someone has posted it but the timetable states the 'business area' on the 1055 and 1327 maybe used without paying a supplemement

 

[Chris B]

Interesting! Chiltern publicity elsewhere is mow saying £10 for those, this won't last long however, if its shown as free in the printed TT

Final formations of the Chiltern Mk3 rolling stock

Set AL01
82301, 10208, 12069, 12048, 12014, 12038
Set AL02
823xx, 12094, 12124, 12043, 11029, 1xxxx, 1xxxx
Set AL03
82303, 10230, 12173, 12117, 12145, 12059
Set AL04
82304, 10236, 12131, 12072, 12053, 11040
Set AL05
82305, 10255, 12127, 12175, 12169, 12174

So far AL01 is waiting for the return of 82301. Set AL02 is still waiting for 2 extra coaches to arrive from Willesden TMD and also a DVT. Set 3 now has all of the external mainline decals applied and is currently having the WiFi modification completed. Set AL04 is currently at Wabtec Doncaster having powered door fitted and should return in the full Chiltern Mainline livery. Set AL05 now has all of the Mainline decals applied and like set AL03 is currently having the WiFi modification completed. We also have 1 DVT at Brush in Loughborough having a generator set fitted to supply ETH power.

I still think it is odd that the WiFi modification is essentially removing it from a lot of the coaches.

 

[t_star2001uk]

From what i have been led to beleive. WiFi will be installed throughout the whole train as each set goes to works. The idea of having only coach A & B at the moment is just a reliablity issue. When WSMR were using the coaches we were having quite a few faults reported with the WiFi not working past coach B.

t_star2001uk

 

[Chris B]

Agreed. But those coaches won't all be out of works with plug doors before the OLympics, and maybe later...

Is the plan currently only for 5 sets as listed above or will there be more sets in the future?

 

[Chris B]

That'll be it until Oxford-MYB comes on stream, is my guess.

 

[jopsuk]

Will set AL02 (or a formation somewhat like it) still be used once all fitted out with plug doors etc? It's anomolous with respect to the others.

 

[RPM]

The blue DVT 82302 has appeared at Aylesbury Depot this week along with 67018 and a coach or two. It must have come via Claydon.

So set AL02 should be complete soo then....

More shunting for me to do.

I think 5 sets is all we need at the moment. Whether there are any increases planned for the future, who knows....

67018 together with two Mk. 3 coaches and DVT 82302 worked as 5Z67 on Monday 22nd August from Willesden TMD to Banbury. I don't know the identity of either of the coaches, but presumably this move was to replace other coaches in set AL02. The train ran via the WCML and reversal at Coventry to reach Banbury, but what has happened since then I don't know...

[t_star2001uk]

Apparently it is due to move from Aylesbury to Wembley on Sunday if a path is available.

[RPM]

It was at Banbury this afternoon.

 

[t_star2001uk]

Its having to go via Reading...

[trainspotter]

Well! here is the 1st Class 67 to land at Rowly Regis today! After being 13mins later raining hard and not sure where is was going to stop! Not bad for a 1st attempt!


This must be the 1st loco haulded stock to arr/dep from Rowley at as scheduled train since the end of steam!!!!!!

 

[Vectorspace]

I was at Snow Hill yesterday at 5pm ish, and there was a 67 with a single Mainline business class coach on platform 3 - although they were not actually coupled together (close enough to be coupled though).

Anyone know the story behind that?

 

[t_star2001uk]

It was moved north from Wembley LMD on Sunday coupled to the front of set AL03. It was taken to Birmingham for the launch of Mainline on Monday for the press and the great and the good to have a look around.

That must be in with a shout for the most inconsistent train in terms of liveries ever to run in the UK.
