Should have been 67020+HD05 on 1v31 and 67015+HD07 on 1V33. V31 I believe is cancelled due to removal of a dangerous tree at Church Stretton so not sure when that one will end up coming out.

1V31 reinstated as an STP is running as HD05. Should do the diagram until 1V42 then work 1W96 to Holyhead this evening, provided it survives the day!

 

[sd0733]

Quite a lot of chopping and changing today, more than originally planned with every diagram changing.

Today should now have:
HD01- 1V91 1W59 1V50
HD04- 1W13 1V39 1W63
HD05- 1V31 1W55 1V42 1W96
HD07- 1V33 1W57 1V46 1W65

HD04 and HD06 are planned to swap locos tonight with 008 going onto HD06 and 012 onto HD04.

Saturday has 4 diagrams, 1 with a slightly later start due to only 1 set at Canton (diversions via Wrexham Saturday and Sunday with no 67s to Manchester). HD01 will stsrt at Canton on 1W13, HD03 will start at Crewe, HD04 picks up the second Canton start but at Crewe on 1V37, HD07 starts at Crewe.

Sunday then planned for HD01 working out of Canton and HD03 out of Crewe.
