06.35 Wrexham-Liverpool starts back from Shrewsbury, but not the evening return.
.
The 18.46 arrival at Wrexham Central goes empty to Birkenhead North Depot, with an empty stock from Chester forming the 20.49 Wrexham-Shrewsbury. Nothing yet shown off Birkenhead North.

This I assume relates to the arrival of the Class 230s by then.. so is highly unlikely!

Unless the working is being introduced beforehand to simplify their introduction.

Disgraced themselves on Bedford-Bletchley yesterday, no departure from Bedford between08.36 and 13.56 and then a two hourly service

Just had my first ride on a refurbed 175 I must say the new interior suits them really well and is a significant improvement on the unfinished Arriva interior granted I really liked the First colours on the 175s so I’m probably being biased, how many units have been refurbed as of now I am aware that 002,006 & 011 have been done with 003 & 107 just having the outsides done.

Timings have now appeared back from Birkenhead to Wrexham General bay later in the evening.

There were Vintage Trains paths last week from Long Marston to Moreton-in-Marsh and back, suggesting the first 230 is imminent, although in the event they were cancelled.

The battery unit was reported on test last week, not a TfW one.

There is a broken down train between Chester and Crewe.

It appears the shuttle failed and the Holyhead-Maesteg was terminated to assist it to Crewe - this giving a preview of the two hour gap between Chester and Salop in December.

It now transpires they’ll be 5 sets of stock and a total of 7 Class 67s modified.

The back half of the Crewe diagram is now showing loco hauled. I'm not 100% but I think the whole diagram was showing dmu before.
