The "Trawsfynydd Trekker I" was supposed to run on 16th July '94 BUT was redated to 10th September '94, so this is actually TT I BUT still called TT II....!

Supposed to be 2x31 to Llandudno Junction then 2x31 T'n'T 2x20 to & from Trawsfynydd with original 2x31 to Chester, and second pair of 31's Chester to York. The 20's were delayed, so decision was taken to T'n'T 31's and use 20's from Llandudno junction to Chester. Second pair of 31's replaced first pair due to fuel range restrictions.
