TfW Class 67+Mk4 sets: trip planning/experiences, diagram updates etc

Sadly looks like I’m on a 197 today according to real time trains.
What’s the likely hood the listing is wrong?

Unfortunately looks like it's not made it off Canton this morning. Theres no spares elsewhere to swap so it'll almost certainly now stay as a 197 sorry

Afternoon,

Should be loco leading from Chester yes, fresh 67012 & HD06. Suffered multiple door faults on its way to Cardiff mind you so that’s if it makes it!

Not the best day on the Marches again today with several services formed of 3 cars in lieu of 5. Whether its because its a 197 covering for a MK4 or a 197 being short formed.

 

[Jacob Porrett]

Today at Crewe depot (30/6/25):

67016 connected to HD05

67013 connected to HD01

67025 light engine.

11324 TFW Mk4 coach is on a Allelys low loader Junction 16 on the M6. Guessing it's from HD02? Where has it come from going to please?

Cheers

HD04/67008 now back out for 1W96 tonight too, which means Canton won’t be overloaded.

It does mean they’ll have an extra rogue set at Canton with HD01 & HD03

Would appear that it didn't in the end, apologies.
Last night's allocation for 029 has been amended back to 013 too and it's now shown as at Canton.
