   Crewe to Chester paths look more likely

   This link takes you to a “runs as required” path.
   On the same there are two services running from Crewe to Chester 5D41 and 5D43 and return 5K42 and 5K44
   The first of these is pathed as Diesel at 75mph while the afternoon service is pathed as diesel 60mph. I guess this may mean diesel assist in the morning and steam in the afternoon – would be good to know if anyone has more information

      Further to my earlier comment I suspect the two services mention are more likely to be loco plus service coach rather than a loaded test run which normally follows the Crewe to Chester runs on the next day – nothing on RTT for that yet
