Any booked 150s on Bhi to Shrewsbury lint?

Monday to Saturday, it's just 158s and a few 175s. There might be one booked for Sunday to Chester

[The Real 4778]

and probably the 158s ageing a bit

What a crock...  Trains do get maintained and overhauled FFS

There was a 158 Going Aberwysth and the 150 was going Pwhelli

150257 was leading.

There was a 158 Going Aberwysth and the 150 was going Pwhelli

It wouldn't have been going through to either Aberystwyth or Pwllheli, the 150 wouldn't have got past Sutton Bridge jn due to lack of ETCSl2.

When I have seen it happen both sets arriving on the Birmingham-Aber/Pwl have gone back to Birmingham from Shrewsbury and the sets coming off the Cambrian return there.

Haven't 150s operated on the Cambrian in the past?

Yes, class 150/1 when the line was 'signalled' with RETB.

ah right @dave47549 (no longer NEL111P) , do i take it that RETB has been replaced, and is there a signalling centre still at Machynlleth?

Not sure about the signalling centre but the line now uses ERTMS which means only certain units can travel along it - just the 158s. I assume the 150 will have been taken off and swapped at Shrewsbury, or Machynlleth.

The 10.09 International-Aberystwyth  had a 150 on the rear this morning - possibly as a result of the 23 pre-planned part or full cancellations shown as "ongoing operational challenges".

Broken down pair of 158s causing some issues at the minute has been stood outside new street tunnel for just over an hour...
