The first TfW Class 67 Mk4s to Manchester Piccadilly 09/01/2023

On the 9th of January 2023, Transport for Wales began operation of 4 car Mk4 rakes hauled by Class 67s on the Cardiff Central to Manchester Piccadilly route. The introduction of these services facilitated by Grand Central no longer needing these sets for their failed service from London to Blackpool.

Currently the service sees two returns from Manchester to Cardiff per day, but eventually every other service on this route (every two hours) will be swapped from a DMU to the loco hauled sets. This will happen in due course as more sets are accepted into TfW service, and more staff are trained on these trains.

I have included films of all 4 runs, including the early morning first departure, with the train having come from Crewe C.S. in the early hours. Also included is one of the existing Holyhead services, which have had these trains since 2020.
