230008 was also out, but not in passenger service

RE: Transport for Wales Rail
Not as good as all that as it missed one trip and then failed in the Dee Marsh area on the next one. When I first looked this morning I'm sure that RTT was suggesting 2F50 restarted there this morning, but now showing a Wrexham Gen time. Reported that it is unable to meet station dwell times but can recover time in running

Journey check rather confusingly only showing Crewe-Salop locals and Central Wales services cape, not the on-going Liverpool-Chester and Blaneau suspension, or the reduced 1 x cl.230 service on here.

RE: Transport for Wales Rail
Good news. The Chester to Liverpool Lime Street service resumed yesterday with 197009. Today 197006 is on the service.

On the other hand the lunchtime departure from Bidston made it all the way to Upton yesterday, and todays service cancelled in advance and reflected in journey check.

Class 175s are starting to go back into service so unit availability will be better - will the 230s still be needed on the borderlands line??

RE: Transport for Wales Rail
Was hoping to go for a ride on a 230 today, but see it's a RR bus today. Anyone know if it's engineering or nonavailabillity of units?

RE: Transport for Wales Rail
National rail has it buses all week - I was going to say that the absence of anything on journey check suggested everything else was back to trains but some Cambrian and West Wales trains now showing cancelled tomorrow.

I’ve just seen a loco hauled set pass me on a Cardiff to Holyhead service. I was under the impression that they were all on Manchester trains now, but obviously not!
