Just saw an unidentified fgw 153 ex lm unit in advertising livery (red)
315850 is now in crossrail livery
A photo on Flickr suggests it was sitting in the yard looking completed on Monday 23rd, but I haven't heard anything else about it.
Former FCC 319444 and 319447 returned from Wolverton in Thameslink livery.
Indeed, replaced by 319430 and 319372.
For Southeastern's units... 465911 returned at the weekend and was replaced by 465236. This leaves just 1 465/2 left to go up - 465249. Interestingly, this unit a little while ago seemed to have a door on it stolen from 465906 (full length yellow).
*Unit 465239, which should have returned on 7th March, is still at Doncaster (although for the purposes of this thread it is repainted). There are some problems I understand with one of the driving cars.*
When's the 375 refresh and relivery due to start?
This networker refurbishment which has resulted in no notable change for the paying passemger has been painfully slow.. Began 2010 I think
Sorry, missed your post!
375 refresh was always due to begin in April and first should go away this Saturday to Derby (after a while, they'll go to Ilford instead). Will come out looking similar to 395s.
Great stuff thanks for that!!!
Will be a massive improvement and about time though SE have basically been asked to pull their weight together with the franchise extension. I believe
The first unit to go will be 375303 , which is due to be stopped in Ramsgate at some point tomorrow (Currently running on the Medway Valley). Having seen the designs for the interior, it will be a long overdue good riddance to all things Connex
The plan is for a 3 week turnaround, but we shall see...
Sorry, missed your post!

I have heard mutterings that AGA will only repaint the 170s if they win the franchise, and apparently it is not even a given that they will bid for it again...

Contrary to the plan, unit 375301 has kicked off the refurbishment project, being hauled to Derby today by 57306.
