This could be in connection with more crews required for the forthcoming 30 minute frequency on the Wrexham to Bidston line

Looks like we're making progress then

3 Class 67 + Mark 4 Sets should be pressed into use from the May timetable change, fingers crossed.

RE: Transport for Wales Rail
In reference to the 230s, which units are there please.

Over the last 2 weeks I have noted 230006 or 230007 parked in the stabling siding alongside the emu shed at Birkenhead North depot but none of the others.

RE: Transport for Wales Rail
They’re in the shed, I believe, for fitter training, I’ll try to find out which ones

They only have three sets - amongst the wibble on twitter it does say that there will only be two diagrams.
