150206 and 150269. Just loaned for one day. 150269 was subsequently borrowed to rescue a 150 that had stalled on Hawarden Bank.

SD.
Possibly Saturday's were to release a unit for the Holyhead-Cardiff Rugby extra which was shown loco hauled outwards and dmu back - presumablu actually dmu both ways as no reports otherwise.
The loco hauled extra ran both ways last Saturday. It's running again tomorrow (rugby and football in Cardiff I believe), no news on any DMU hire in's as yet though
Manchester WAG should be back tomorrow with 67010 if DVT is fixed.

67010 today.
Im sure a 67 on the WAG is not something special anymore , i would suggest that if it was to be a Class175 replacement it would be newsworthy.
What Ant is saying is that the WAG is back under Class 67 control after a few days of DMU Replacements
67 010 is particularly newsworthy as it's the first appearance of the loco on the North Wales turns. Personally I think there's no harm in someone posting what loco is out, any loco hauled services are worth a mention nowadays.

A unit has been used recently due to wheel flats on the DVT. Wheel lathes are rather busy this time of year..
