[MP393]

67017/HD01 has gone onto ATC at Crewe on 1W11 with a Speedo fault on the loco. 197101 forward on diagram for 1V37 out of Manchester.

67022/HD03 will now cover 1W59/1V50 to balance sets out and finish at Cardiff tonight. 1W57/1V46/1W65 will be a unit as a result.

012 on that not 025

025 apparently still on despite being planned to have moved today - weird.

EDIT - No no, that's wrong again, sorry!

1V33 was definitely 67012 this morning, RTT hadn’t picked the change up last night.

Yes - I realised that after my post realising the photo I'd seen was a bit off in terms of the date! 012 was seemingly the problem, though but should be back in service if it's fixed tomorrow morning.

Did anything go wrong with any of the MK4's today as i noticed on RTT both the 1453 and 1853 were formed of 3 car 197s not MK4's.

Also a 2 car 197 took over the 1630 Manchester-Cardiff from Crewe.

HD03 failed on Canton which forced a set to be turned off to ATC Crewe (1V50, HD04)

 

[alistairlees]

Is the 16.53 Cardiff C - Manchester P expected to be a 67 tomorrow? (I am planning to have dinner on it!)

Even if it is a Mk4 set, you're not likely to have a chef on that service, I'm afraid.

67010 was failed on 1V50
Which is why 67008 set 6 was left at Canton instead of working 1W65

Really? Which services tomorrow would be expected to have one (if any)? Thanks.

Realised my logic doesn't make sense and that 010 has indeed kicked the bucket!

Had a couple of cab faults. Now swapped for 67015 ready for Sunday (spare set tomorrow)

0643, 0854, 1053, 1253 would be most likely on a Saturday, although I'm not 100% sure

Thanks, is it normal that there are no evening meals on Saturdays, do you know? By the sounds of it is there just breakfast and lunch on a Saturday - is that correct?

I wish that TfW would put clear information on their website about the trains that have the chef on board on. There are six pages saying how wonderful their on-board food is, but absolutely no information on where and when it can be found. Imagine running a restaurant like that.
