1  Journey by Journey / Wales local journeys / Re: South Wales local services - Pembroke, Fishguard, Swanline, etc. on: September 19, 2013, 08:11:47
Have the ATW (Arriva Trains Wales (former TOC (Train Operating Company))) diagrams changed much this September? Is it still as follows?:

Class 175 - Most Manchesters except 06:30 MAN - Milford Haven and 13:08 return on Saturdays
Class 158 -
  • 06:30 MAN - Milford Haven etc. on Saturdays
  • 14:45 Gloucester - Fishguard Harbour etc.
  • 07:09 Pembroke Dock - Cardiff
  • Some Maesteg, Ebbw Vale and Cheltenham to/from Cardiff workings

Pembroke Dock 2x Pacer and 1x 150

I ask because, to my supprise and discomfort, the 16:04 from Cardiff to Fishguard was a 150 this evening, and I think I saw a 158 heading the other way around about Pembrey & Burry Port. Was I just very unlucky or are all Fishguards booked for 150s now except the morning train to Manchester (175)? Actually, come to think of it, is the 09:54 off FGH booked for Pembroke's 150 or one of the two Pacers?


It might be different because they are missing 158823 the one that hit a tractor back in July.

They would have been moving 2 trains together, but as there as no corrider connection on the 165s/166s and if its not busy it makes sense to only use 2 carriages

The Gloucester-Fishguard service (leaves Swansea around 5pm) was a 2 car 175 today. Rare to see a 175 on this service its usually a 158 or 150. Rare for a 175 to cover a 158 diagram, usually its the other way around!

It was a 3 car 175 on Thursday. 175108  Tongue

I like the doubled up 153s on Pembroke Dock as it swaps to heart of wales. Makes it fun Smiley

Nope, the entire lot seem to be ^17 cheapest. Was ^13 a few days ago and it's not just 1 day its most of them.

Hi,

I was wondering why on most dates now the cheapest advance Swansea to London is ^17 and not ^13.

I'm looking, at 25th May between 03:58 and 05:58 Swansea to London

and alot of other dates.

Is this another error?

Unless of course they always form 04:36 with a 150, as they have enough to do that.

Interesting combination on the 19xx Carmarthen-Cardiff (which does Pembroke Dock journey early in the day) it was a 150 and 2x153s. I wonder why they had so many sets to send back to Cardiff?

Engineering work yesterday would explain things, the 18:59 Carmarthen to Cardiff traces back to the 05:50 Pembroke Dock.

Are they still diverting trains via Banbury on weekend 5th to 8th April?

Thanks for the info. Surprised a 158 turned up on swanline, hopefully a sign of things to come. How many unrefurbished 158s are still about? Not seen one for several weeks now.

The 1655 is the one i see pass Neath around 1705 and its usually very busy.

20 Sept Trains, Slightly different

I noticed online the 06:30 Manchester to Milford was terminated at Newport running 35 minutes late, And a new service started from Cardiff to Milford and that ment

14:55 Swansea to Manchester was 158831 however that ONLY went to Cardiff and terminated straight back for 17:05 Swansea to Fishguard Harbour.

17:10 Cardiff was 150231

16:55 was again a 2 car, 175001 today.

18:41 was 175104 today, 3 car.
