Even the food's running, has to be a catch waiting for me!

And then boom! There goes 67012's traction motorsEven the food's running, has to be a catch waiting for me!
In all seriousness, have a nice trip!
And the majority of services were short formed and not formed of MK4's when they should have been.
Does anyone know what the plan is over the weekend? Can we expect all 4 Saturday diagrams and 2 on Sunday?

I can update RE W13 tonight. Will hopefully be prepping it.

1W13 is down as a unit tomorrow apparently.

If you have facebook I highly recommend joining the Class 67 Group, it gives you the diagrams plus extra info on the locomotives and sets. Just a recommendation, of course.
Tomorrow should have:
67010 set HD03 1V33/1W57/1V46/1W65
67025 set HD06 1V37/1W59/1V50
67017 set HD01 1W55/1V42/1W63
And a unit on 1W13/1V39/1W61/1V62
Briefly viewing RTT, there looks to be no LHCS services on Sunday. Probably a reasonable time to get some maintenance done, though.

3-car on the 18:30* out of Manchester today was cosy, but at least that one empties out as it goes south.
The arrival into Manchester for that one is always very full and today was no exception. It was almost impossible to see how so many people fit. It is very much the inward working that justifies the 5-car capacity with that pairing.
Had a 5-car 197 north on 1W12 yesterday, though oddly the screens did not show the middle toilet on the rear set (197105). I always get on the front and didn't bother going down to find out what had happened.
Going via the Styal line worked very smoothly both ways.

You are correct - no MK4 attached to it. It’s down as a 197.

Anyone know what's up with 1V46? It seems to be diverting via Warrington! Rare track for passenger Mk4s now!
Broken down 195 at Gatley

1V50 is currently running as HD06+67025. Will be taking it to Swansea later. Some diagrams are seemingly running as locos.
Also tonight…
1W63 is HD01+67017
1W65 HD03+67010
These are the only three rakes out at the moment, I suspect most of tomorrow’s two diagrams will run as 67s.

I might see it down at Llanharan later, if it makes it there atleast!

I don't think there is any diagrams tomorrow, from a quick look on RTT atleast!

There is currently two 67 diagrams for tomorrow, the rest are down as “stabled”.
If I’m awake when units/67s are assigned I’ll update
Been a long week of nights and I’m ready for bed!

What confuses me is that they show as DMU's on RTT and no FC offered. It could just be standing in place of a unit I suppose.

Currently no allocations have been made.

That’s same as RTT had them last week

HD06 spent 14 minutes at Hereford which is a bit odd. Won't have time to see it now as I've got stuff to do this evening and it's a bit of a walk to the station. Shame.

Don't trust RTT for things like this. 67s are showing on the traincrew diagrams tomorrow. Additionally one should be working the 1930 off Manchester as far as Crewe, instead of the usual ECS run.

Understood, I've fallen into this trap again (it's happened before). I'll keep it in mind. Much appreciate the information.

Not a problem. I've not checked thoroughly but hopefully the timings aren't actually based on DMU timings - if there are frequent stops involved, it's a struggle for a 67 to keep to them.

Had the other side of that last night. The 197 was waiting time at pretty much every stop, including Craven Arms having departed Church Stretton on time.

It's down as 67010 set HD03 and 67025 set HD06 tomorrow, just checked. HD04 and HD05 are currently receiving attention at Crewe and Cardiff respectively. Not sure what is wrong with 04, but hopefully 05's door issue can be pushed out. It's also hoped for HD02 to wonder home next week before testing commences.

Afternoon all,
Does anyone in the know, know if a loco and set are running on 1V42 12:32 Manchester to Cardiff tomorrow?
