Livery variations & full fleet details - East Midlands Trains

[jacknottm]

Do we know whats appenin with 785? Been nothin on it from Delta side of news... May of slipped thru the net into donny? Or is that too much to be asking of them...

 

[P156KWJ]

haven't seen it in service for months - at least 783 is in daily use - so we haven't lost another unit. I'll have a look when I next pass Eastcroft or Etches Park, the latter it's more likely to be at.

 

[WillPS]

I didn't see it at Etches Park, however I did see one of the SWT units at the back of a siding on Wednesday... and I saw at least two Stagecoach liveried 158's between there and Thetford on that journey.

Why have East Midlands Trains still got these units? Are they keeping them?

South West Trains clearly don't need them that much if they've spent all that time up here.

 

[P156KWJ]

the SWT ones were supposed to have returned in November. Seems odd that SWT units ahve been here since the last day of Central Trains!

 

[WillPS]

OK - so when are we going to see Pioneers move over? And what of that HST Powercar EMT are supposed to be getting?

EMT have been allocated 43089. It's just being prepared for use by them and to my knowledge they should be getting it any time soon.

As for the Pioneers it's anyones guess but they have put a start on the Corby services for March (or so I heard) which shows that they must be arriving end of Jan beginning of Feb at my guess. They have to have stuff done to them before they enter service.

 

[Pumbaa]

Not to mention the 180s replacing them on HT are still being prepared. Out of interest, does anyone know where?

 

[jacknottm]

156413 and 156415 running as a hybrid for the time being

This should also be 158780s last week in green from what i've been told, where its going to be done though is anyones guess.

Sulzer25 170 309 came from CT ex 399

 

[P156KWJ]

... right, could you expand? have I missed it out? cos I'll add it if it is, you need to explain it to me! those lists took Sodding hours to make lol!

 

[PaintYourWagon]

I can confirm 170309 is ex 170399.

Check on fotopic for verification.

 

[P156KWJ]

so you want me to remove it as 'ex-SWT' on the FTPE ones? I really need people to explain fully!

2 Car combo mate, Dont know which cars though im afraid

 

[P156KWJ]

saw the 156 combo at DY today, couldn't see the car numbers though

170309 used to be 170399.

170399 was with Central Trains until the end of their franchise when it transfered to FTPE. (Apparently it was built along with 170397 and 170398 as spot hire units but they ended up being with Central Trains anyway)

Hope that explains it!

Edit: I also think the 17030X units were built under Bombardier and not Adtranz

 

[P156KWJ]

I will update them for v2.1, as I am about to attempt a London Midland one.

 

[MCR247]

Does anyone know which 158 is being refurbed next?

 

[P156KWJ]

either 780 or 785 AFAIK

 

[MCR247]

Thanks

The Refurb is Being Done at Delta Rail, Derby.

 

[P156KWJ]

but we thought the contract had been withdrawn? According to a magazine I quickly read in WHSmiths (can't remember which) said they definately have.
