Same memory foam style seating as in the 159/1s?

Which 158 is due up to Loughborough next?

Presumably so, the GWR refurbished 158s and the single Northern unit done so far have had similar cushions fitted.

A shame they didn't go with the teethy one IMO, looks quite smart...

Nah. Looked rubbish, especially as the vinyls started peeling.

Not sure why they had to meddle with it, the older version is better than both the new ones.

I agree. I quite liked the old one. The new one is ok, as it's pretty similar, but the teethy one looked awful. Seems a bit of a waste to change it so marginally but there you go.

Yes 158881 has gone, I like the new livery better but the teeth livery on 102 and 103 (the twins) makes them unique now
