WELSH LOCO HAULED - Posted: June 7, 2021 - 9:51 AM Quote and reply
Transport for Wales has introduced its fleet of Mark 4 coaches on services between Cardiff and Holyhead this morning (Monday 7th June, 2021), with the ex-LNER coaches providing better capacity for passengers.
The first train left Holyhead at 5:34 and will arrive in Cardiff at 09:57, providing an essential link between North and South Wales.
Transport for Wales has also confirmed that they have purchased 30 Mark 4 coaches that were destined to be used with Grand Central on Blackpool to London Euston services before this project was scrapped. These will be refurbished and will be used on the Swansea to Manchester route from December 2022.
The Ex-Grand Central coaches will have first-class carriages, free WiFi, an enhanced food offering, accessible toilets and baby changing. They have been purchased thanks to funding from the Welsh Government.

Both the Ex-LNER coaches and DVT, along with Ex-Grand Central coaches and DVTs will be operated using DB Cargo UK Class 67 locomotives
