London Midland 150109 at Doncaster

Does anyone know why London Midland 150109 is at Doncaster Works?

I was wondering the same thing after seeing a photo on Flickr of it.

There has been trouble with failures and cancellations on the marston vale line all week, not sure if it's related but remember seeing a tweet about no service for many hours due to a failure, blocking the line.

Maybe a new compliant bog?

LM ran a 153 down from New Street the other night as an emergency replacement. It arrived into Beltchely and went straight into service on the 1736.

We are used to train failures on the vale

Is it still there?

Explains why the Hereford 150 diagram was a 170 yesterday then.

Bringing a bit of an old thread up here but had an update on this the other day. All the 150s are having a c6 but no work to make them compliant. Will have the sole bars checked and metal replaced where necessary and new flooring. Will take until the Spring for the 3 to be done apparantly.

When will 150109 be done then?

Doesn't say a time for each unit but averaging the time out will take around 3-4 months probably.

Thanks.
