Not had chance to catch up on much, but there's two I can recall from this week...

465911 away to Doncaster for Southeastern and 319380 is now in Northern colours.

315850 is now in crossrail livery

Any 315 now coming out of the paint works at Ilford should be white and blue.

The split of the units is planned to be as follows:

315801-817: LOROL
315818-861: Cross Rail

317501-515: AGA
317649-672: AGA
317708/709/710/714/719/723/729/732: LOROL
317722: AGA
317881-886: AGA
317887-892: LOROL

Has 318270 returned from Doncaster yet, or is it still there? According to scot-rail.co.uk, it was meant to have come back on the 28th March. Anyone have any clue?

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

A long way off but the replacements for the GN 313s... Whatever they may be... What livery will they be painted in and what livery will the 700s be in?

Is it confirmed they will be in the same livery as the 365s are being turned out in?

Surely something more eye catching ?

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...

Currently on diagram 303, so should end up on 301 tomorrow ending in Ramsgate at 20:36.

Derby? This'll be the first refurbishment carried out there then since the end of the FGW Mk3 Overhaul contract. May even be the same for Ilford too!

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...

Adam :D

Really why is that?

Do you reckon they wish they never got involved in the franchise?

It is the one London TOC crying out for investment.... The devolution to TFL will sort some of it but the great eastern mainline still needs sorting out

Any more 317/5s being repainted?
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
My thoughts on thameslink/great northern branding:

Looks great on the 377/5 save for fcc branding still being visible in the light... But looks made for the livery down to the pink looking identical ...same for great northern 365s this time with the blue matching up


However on the older trains it looks messy as the logo sits over the lines not above them... Whilst on the ghost units the logos are almost absurdly large presumably to add oomph to a bland livery...nwhilst on the ex southern liveried units the logo is much smaller...

The 317s look the worst with not just the blue triangle covering the dynamic lines but the great northern wording as well

A lot of scruffy units running around due to graffiti removal which is not wear well on vinyl

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

Will be glad to see at least one white livery being replaced by something better

Too many plain liveries around at the moment glad Southeastern are finally repainting these units and the refresh will be welcomed!

Presumably the present seating arrangement remains? Presently they all aside from the /9s have a low density layout throughout?

Will the 376s remain untouched?

This is the latest I had:

Thameslink refresh
Class 319 : 319001/004-006/009-012/373/430-431/438-439/443-444/447.
Class 365 : 365517/519-520/522-525/528/532-533/537-538/540.

Leighton Logs is a good source for Wolverton movements.
From 28th March log:
319444/447 came out - photos verified in TGSN. [447 was expected to be Northern but came out Thameslink].
319215/386/430 went in.

From 11th April log:
319368/382 came out in Northern.
319371/372/374/383 into workshops. [371/2/4 for Northern; 383 has been noted for both TL and NO].

As there are only three more years for this franchise and the '300' trains' (!) are only getting a refresh (and not a refurbishment) I would be surprised if they will look much different and if some are due for a repaint I would have expected the DfT to want them to be white (probably off white)

315857 currently stopped for repaint. Another one going in on Friday- can't remember which. It was quite a low numbered one considering 857 is in at the moment. Will confirm tomorrow.

On checking, 315814 is shown as having another C6 exam (repaint). Not sure how correct this is. 814 is off to LOROL for West Anglia services, and if memory serves me right, they don't repaint for the launch of new services- as demonstrated when they took over the north London line- no 150's, 313's or 508's were done.

Ignore the above. 814 is destined for a C4 exam- new wheelsets & pan.
