It wasn't in the original plan as both the 143, 150/1s and 153s were all due to leave the franchise. However, as we've seen with the 153s now receiving green that plan has changed and there is a plan to paint some of the 143s in green and advertising liveries ala 153325/333 as well. I'll dig out the info when I'm back on a PC tonight.

Ah, that's why I didn't see it, as I was doing a morning shift yesterday, not my usual afternoon one.
Hopefully will see 165 108 out and about tomorrow!
Unlikely, it's on the maintenance list for post C6 checks but had to take a back seat today due to other work taking priority. May get bumped up or down the list depending on what else is planned or more than likely what goes pop over the next few days :cry:
Pictures of 43195 test run yesterday in Totnes are now on Nathan Williamson's website.

1 car HSTs confirmed?
It's GWRs new 153 Replacement. In a bid to combat regular complaints by Drivers about how slow they are and cramped in one cab, 1 car Super Mini HSTs will be available soon. Soon to come to a Devon and Cornwall branchline near you!*
*Disclaimer. Cannot confirm or deny if true or an alternative fact.

The rear unit (booked 153) should detach from a 150 at Exeter on the way back on 1248 Paignton to Cardiff but 368 detached on the way down instead
Yes 108 is in Green but has no GWR branding, its booked in this weekend, when I said Graphics work, I just meant to have all the GWR decals affixed.

Oh wow. I feel like that snuck up on us..
Id imagine that they'd immediately go to Grand Central?
Thanks,

That seems to be the case. I imagine GC will slap up some vinyls themselves?

Having scan-read the last few pages, I got all excited and thought we were on about 150108! I now presume, having calmed down, that we are in fact referring to 43108?!
***Even more perplexed now, having researched and established that there is no longer a 43108! So 150 it is then?!

Tracking back up the thread, I think the reference is to 165108, which has been out and about in the Thames Valley this week without the full GWR branding applied yet.

Yes, just to clarify, I was on about 165108.
Memo to self - use the full unit number in future
