Any news please on
The issues with
67012 set HD04
67016 set HD06
Thanks
HD04 has a speedo fault on 67012 so will have a loco swap between HD01 and HD04 after the former gets back from Manchester on 1V37.

67016+HD06 is planned to pick up 10:52 Cardiff to Manchester as long as the door issues are resolved.

For the others, 67017+HD02 are planned to swap diagrams and cover 17:14 Holyhead rather than 16:49 Manchester with 67014+HD04 replacing it on the Manchester to get those to Crewe for loco and rake exams taking the place of 67020+HD03 which are planned back out tomorrow.

Standby south loco 67007 is planned out on a run to Hereford and back https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:13791/2024-10-04/detailed

Edit:

Those plans have been cancelled due to HD06 not being fixed.

67014 will stay on HD01.
67012 will be replaced by 67016 on HD04 which is now planned to enter service on 16:49 Cardiff to Manchester

Apologies. I've got myself totally wrong there with all the changes :oops::oops:.

Correct is actually (planned anyway):
67008+HD05 1W57 etc
67014+HD01 1W19/1V50
67016+HD04 1W23.

Have amended the original post. Apologies for that.

Another change of plan! Seems 67012s speedo issues are resolved so that will stay on HD04 and 016 on HD06 so 1W23/1V66 now planned for 67012+HD04. Hard to keep up today.

@sd0733 any idea what the expected state of play is for Saturday? Thanks.
Weekend plans should look like:

Sat
Diagram starting 04:35 from Cardiff expected a unit
Diagram starting 05:30 from Swansea 67014+HD01
Diagram starting 04:54 from Crewe 67008+HD05
Diagram starting 06:27 from Manchester 67012 or 67020+HD03 (depends if 020s coolant leaks are fixed)

Sun
67012 or 67020+HD03 on Crewe-Crewe Diagram
67008+HD05 on Cardiff-Cardiff Diagram

Obviously all subject to changes on the day!

67012 was swapped onto HD03 lieu of leaking 67020 but promptly had a fault on prep which saw it replaced by a 197

Looks like 197124 is covering the diagram that starts with 0435 Cardiff-Manchester.

HD01 has been at a halt for over an hour only a few minutes after departing Manchester, already planned to be swapped out at Crewe prior to departure from Manchester too..

Yesterday I had my first tfw MK4 experience yesterday from Cardiff to Manchester and it was absolutely brilliant. I upgraded to first on the train enroute too and the food was probably the best i've had on a train. Sadly my booked return was subbed for a 197 which I'm currently sat on now and I can't wait to get off, it's absolutely awful, it's like being on a roller coaster the amount we are being jolted around and can feel every bump and dip in the track!

I see 197120 is covering for a MK4. I thought both diagrams were supposed to be a MK4 today!
