Ah, ok thanks, at least some will get preserved then.
Thanks for this, I’m not there myself but have a friend on his way to Cardiff now and the gen is much appreciated

143607 and 153921 have another 143 attached seen in photograph bur unable to see number
Its updated in Genius now to add 143616. Amended the original post.
Unless im missing something 601 should be last as if it stays on diagram it will finish in Rhymney tonight so it would do something tomorrow feom there.
I’ve had word that both units are going to Landore this evening, you may want to see what has been set up in Genius (I don’t have access) this means either or both could be detached from their respective diagrams before the end and sent to Canton.
Maybe it will get swapped then.
Genius still showing it right through to Rhymney at 23:10 but can easily change in the day.

It isn’t. It really isn’t. I’d hesitate to use the term preserved with most of them: they’ve just been sold to heritage railways. How many are actually with a preservation group?

Where are they? Diagram 102 is currently 769445!
609 left Grangetown for Barry at around 15:11.
601 left Penarth for Rhymney at 15:33 which I believe is diagram 102.

Possible unit swap at Cardiff Central on 2R15?

The way I've been reading it, and having just seen it heading to Bridgend, 609 should work the 19:38 then to Aberdare and then the 21:44 to Barry Island (unless it gets removed at Cardiff on either trip). If it stays on, it's the ECS BYI to Canton
Yes thats right.
As it stands (pending any swaps) the rest of today is;
601
18:33 Penarth to Rhymney
20:02 Rhymney to Penarth
21:33 Penarth to Rhymney
Ecs to Rhymney sidings
609
19:38 Bridgend to Aberdare
21:44 Aberdare to Barry Island
23:24 Ecs to Canton

I'm enjoying my last fling to Aberdare and then all the way to the Island. Many thanks to all the gen providers over the last few weeks/months on these workings.
I'm confident that 143601 will go to Rhymney. There are plenty of diagrams off Canton that go back to Canton at the end of the day so if they wanted it back, it would have gone on on of those diagrams.
It would be great if it did, even better if it came out for a last hurrah tomorrow!!
yes can I also say a huge thank you to those who have done such a great job posting the gen.
It's unlikely to come back empty and most of the diagrams stay out all day at the moment. Unless it fails, it should be out in service.
That was my thinking of it too. Apart from 602 yesterday anything else thats been wanted back has been put on a Canton finish even if was on part of a pair of 150 diagrams

Anyone know the original source? Just curious since this is the third date touted as the last day in the past few weeks, so could see one continuing into Sun/Monday.
