RE: Transport for Wales Rail
Very surprised to hear of the return of 142073 to the mainline today on a test run out of Cardiff Canton and back. This unit had a fire from what I can remember and was supposedly written off. --- Thanks Ant Check out my YouTube Channel updated regularly at 18:00 Most Days; https://www.youtube.com/c/apdmediatransp...nel/videos Check out my content on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter/albums Updated recently with a trip down to the South Coast in 2021 & Railway Pictures from 2017. |

TfW are so short of units at the moment that the return to service of 142073 could be justified. All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles |

They might have some second hand ones, but clearly there is little chance of any new stock by May 2020, yet alone this year. |

RE: Transport for Wales Rail
I wonder if someone in Cardiff still believes they will have 769s about then? ; |

RE: Transport for Wales Rail
It can only be from the following options; 142/144 (from Northern, displaced by 195) 153 (from GWR) 230 (diverted from Wrexham) 769 Loco and stock Or, internal TFW units cascaded by 230 entering service in North Wales Only the 142/144/153 option looks realistic to me. |

RE: Transport for Wales Rail
There have been talks regarding a few 144s going to Cardiff as an interim measure. |
