What would appear to be the service from 18th May has appeared in RTT, Chester-Liverpool running two-hourly, based on SX, although the full service is shown on Sunday 17th.
West of Chester the existing two-hourly Crewe-Llandudno-Holyhead service continues, but between Chester and Manchester becomes the normal SX service except for overnight trains. Elsewhere appears to become the full Sunday service with peak enhancements, including what I believe is the first ever booked crossing move at Tir-Phil.

230006 is on test this week out of Long Marston prior to being handed over to TFW in the not too distant future.

Are these for the Bidston to Wrexham Central Line?


RE: Transport for Wales Rail - 313201 - 19/05/2020 16:18

From what I know at the moment, the Bidston - Wrexham service is going to remain as Class 150 units but whether these will still run as 2 coach or be doubled up to 4 or run as 2 seperate 2 coach units each day is unclear at this time.

230006 is back at vivarail for alterations

On 15th May DC Rail's 56103 took 7 of the 12 redundant Mark 3s off the WAG from Cardiff Canton to Long Marston.

And the mk.2s have been returned to Nemesis at Burton.

47813 has collected the rest from Crewe this morning and taken them to Long Marston.

Are the coaches being stored for further use.

Very unlikely given they are now non DDA compliant.
