150 276 hasn't been up there long. Could it be the 155 which has been at Brodies or Wabtech for over 9 months.

Friend of a friend was at Killie and saw 276 passing through the station (according to his book of the face post anyway)

Every time I see that livery it looks worse to me.

FWIW, though, I think it could be saved with a "sweep" at the vehicle inner end to make it look less stark.

Not much news on the presumably rust ridden 155. Is it at Brodies or Wabtech?
Lost track of what's where being redecorated.

Are the units at Doncaster, Springburn and Wolverton having full refreshes or just the DDA modifications?

Thanks. I thought some work was being done at Wabtech Kilmarnock rather than Brodies.

I didn't know any work was been done to the 323's as I thought they were leaving the franchise anyway

Just going by the list from Northern where they all are and they say Brodie's for 150275.
I think the ones at Doncaster and Springburn are just DDA and corrosion works. The 319 at Wolverton might be the one that's been converted to the 319flex. The 323 might be the leasers decision for DDA mods rather than Northerns choice

Is 156479 just receiving the toilet mods? 156484 has just returned carrying old Northern livery and has the ScotRail style fleet numbers applied.

I saw the Northern 323 at Wolverton. It was very odd after seeing a London Midland one at Manchester Piccadilly just a few days previously!

Is that 155 a typo, or has it been swapped over?

Thanks for this, but did you mean 155346 or has 155345 gone for its refresh and repaint as well?

Also, what is "fleet enhancement work"?

Also some units are having major overhaul at various depots. E.g. 333 009 is nearing return to service after a long absenc at Siemens Neville hill and 142 059 I believe is the current unit on the 142 program at Holbeck.
