HD05 not showing out on the Crewe diagram, 67020 yet to head to Canton.

Any idea what's going on with HD05?

It was allocated briefly but swapped to the 197 pretty quickly so something was obviously found on it although not too sure what. I'll try and find out.

Not aware of 67020 heading to Canton yet either, both together aren't putting much of a positive look on tomorrows 5 diagrams.

Still nothing, I have a bad feeling about tomorrow now

Seems strange to not send 016 back
To go on set 3
Knowing 020 has had issues

 

[sd0733]

Looks as if tomorrow is still playing catch up to a degree with 3 diagrams out to cycle things into the correct place for Tuesday.

67020 hasn't been ready so is expected to Canton tomorrow with it going onto HD03 for re-entry into service on Tuesday.

67013+HD04 are planned to move from Crewe ETD to Crewe ATC following repairs and tyre turning.

67029+HD05 are down to work 1V33 1W61 1V54 starting Crewe and ending Canton

67010+HD01 are planned to go onto 1V31 etc starting and finishing Crewe.

67017+HD07 planned on 1W13 1V39 1W96 starting Canton and ending Holyhead.

Tuesday is then planned for everything back with all 7 sets potentially available.

I think we've made it! 1W13 starting diagram has returned, hopefully I haven't jinxed it now!

It's just pretty much swapped for now from w11 tomorrow, when they're both running (on Tuesday all being well) it's a little more positive.

67010 set 1 not on 1V31 - 197114
67017 set 7 not worked 5W13 to Swansea,
1W13 starting at Cardiff - 197003

Only 1V33 a set !

HD01 at Crewe had some sort of defect picked up overnight so was pulled
5W13 ran to Swansea as a set, unfortunately it's still there..... takes power one way but not the other. 67006 being readied to go and pick it up if needed.

A really dismal start to the new diagrams. Hopefully something can go out as the day goes on but not promising.

That didn’t happen either. Bit of a write off today!!

 

[sd0733]

1W96 swapped to HD05+67029 to get a set to Holyhead.

So is every day recently, plan after plan ends up in the bin with not a lot to show for them.

HD01 & 67016 came out for 1V42 13:10 Crewe to Cardiff…. However then failed at Whitchurch after the set swap. Back to the drawing board!

Sat in Crewe station now
Left ATC 67 late.
Possibly making sure 67010 set 1
Make it back on 5V42 ?

Edit ! Passed at Wrenbury

 

[BillStampy]

Does anyone know the state of play for tomorrow? Is HD07 able to work one of the Canton starts after its failure today?

Hopefully we'll have at least one of the Canton starts out as 67020 is making its way down now!

 

[37052 xb mr]

67017 & set 7
Ran back to Canton on its own
So guessing not all bad

The plan, or we should probably say wish list now has both Canton starts (HD03 and 07) and also the Holyhead start (HD05).

Crewe looks pretty horrific with HD01+67016 having reported dragging DVT brake today, HD02 requiring unspecified repairs, HD04 requiring a test run and HD06 having repairs picked up on the exam. Unless one of those makes it out tomorrow, HD05 will have to be held at Canton instead of working the 18:53 Manchester.

 

[37052 xb mr]

Thanks

 

[MP393]

67029 HD05 Holyhead start 1V91 etc
67020 HD03 Canton start 1W13 etc
67017 HD07 Canton start 1W11 etc

Crewe starts both 197s.

Slightly more promising start but as none have actually left the shed at time of posting I hope I haven’t spoke too soon!

Looks like the 0543 Swansea is a 197 as far as Cardiff but think that may already have been pre planned as down as a separate journey.

Pre-planned for Tues-Fri this week, due to the empties from Canton running via Barry.

67029 set 5 being kept back till 1W61
1W57 now 197113

Thanks for confirming. I had a feeling it must have been running via VOG. Looks like the unit that did the Swansea-Cardiff went on to cover another MK4 on the 0853 Cardiff-Manchester.
