Been some unit juggling due to a 175 being required on depot off 1V94. Should have been refurbished 150284 on the trainer but it’s gone to Cardiff instead

The ticket will cost £7.80 if you travel on the Merseyrail. If you decided to travel on Transport for Wales Rail, then you have to pay £12.70.

I think the service is more aimed at Helsby Frodsham Runcorn East and creating a direct link from Chester/N Wales to South Parkway. A lot of people said they will use it to avoid the bridge tolls.

That's right. I believe it's the first Class 175 to be repainted there

Is it repaint or more modifications?

RE: Transport for Wales Rail
It always makes me chuckle how they reduce the service so much. Why don't they use the normal train to do Llandudno to LLJ and then use RRBs from LLJ to Blaenau Ffestiniog. The latter part only takes 10 mins longer on a bus than on the train so it wouldn't be as much disruption and it could allow for a lot more trains in the operating hours. It must be cheaper doing that than running the buses into Llandudno town and having to use the ABW Express buses to ensure connections.

Also wouldn't you at least try to delay the RRB times from Blaenau Ffestiniog so you can use the same bus. For the sake of 5 minutes, you can just keep 1 bus out and give all the layover in Llandudno Junction?
