IDRS reports a year of progress
Much has happened on the project to re-create LMS diesel No. 10000 since its donor Class 58 frame was lifted and turned one year ago.

FOUR-CAR ON THE CAMBRIAN COAST: Transport for Wales Class 158 Nos. 158822 and 158823 pass the Talyllyn Railway’s station at Tywyn Wharf on July 3. While pairs of ‘158s’ are a common sight on the Cambrian lines as far west as Machynlleth, four-car trains are generally split or formed there, with two-car units operating to and from Aberystwyth and Pwllheli. The Class 158s pictured were running as the 2I12/07.24 Pwllheli to Machynlleth/Birmingham New Street, an identity and path usually used by a timetabled two-car service. TfW is working with Network Rail on a plan to run some four-car trains all the way to the coast, providing additional capacity at peak times this summer, but neither organisation was able to confirm to The RM the reason for this particular movement, stating that route testing was yet to take place at this point.
