As far as I know it's 3 diagrams on Cardiff > Holyhead from May including the diagram previously operated by Mark 3 stock. They are having 7 Class 67s eventually so 3 sets makes no sense, I am convinced they'll be more come December. Unless things have changed because of the ongoing situation but it was suggested in 2019 that they'd be 5 sets.

Can you point me to any actual announcement of 7 sets?

There is no way three sets can cover three diagrams reliably - the intention was for two sets to work three single trips daily including the original round trip.

It was announced as 5 sets with 7 Class 67s in 2019.

It was mentioned at the time the news they was getting Mark 4s was announced. Their are currently 4 67s in the TFW Livery.
Eversholt are advertising 132 coaches as available for lease, which with the GC stock offered seperately, the LNER SETS and the three current TfW sets accounts for whole fleet.

It was closed due to the timetable reduction by TfW, not weather related at all.
