WMTrains livery and station branding

[Spirit555]

Poppy 172336 did that Hereford turn this week. It has been mentioned on here

There are two 150's at Bletchley yes, but I think that is due to re-diagramming of 153's on the chase line to give extra capacity. Someone in the know may be able to confirm that.

On the station painting front, both Longbridge and Selly Oak are being painted. However both are being painted in the old London Midland Green which is quite puzzling. Anyone any idea why wasting time on that.

Where is the 3rd 150 though? hummm

University got a green repaint on the handrails of the bridge the other week too. Perhaps [speculation time] with University, they're using the available old paint while waiting for the new new entrance to be built!

It should be at Tyseley. As a spare.

 

[Class172]

Are they WMR stations?

Yes, both stations are under WMR's remit.

Longbridge is also having a new new entrance, so perhaps TfWM are waiting for the completion of that.

 

[DavidGrain]

It will be 2/3 years before the new University station building is complete so no reason to repaint in old colours

 

[Spirit555]

The 3rd 150 is used on the Birmingham to Worcester/Hereford circuit although not everyday due to maintenance requirements. That's why 170's/172's appear.

That’s right. That’s why must of the week now it’s a class 170 instead of 150.

I wonder how may Metro's they had to remove from under the seats - all the units I travelled on this weekend felt like they'd replaced the cushions with them!

172339 now in tango.

 

[59CosG95]

Nuneaton has not yet been *fully* repainted - work has been ongoing yesterday to paint the wrought-iron canopy braces in lime green.

Great

 

[HLE]

Nuneaton has not yet been *fully* repainted - work has been ongoing yesterday to paint the wrought-iron canopy braces in lime green.

And the front doors have had a few coats of paint.

Still not a fan of the lighter green squares on some of the doors.

 

[Spirit555]

170632 now tangoed. On Birmingham to Rugeley TV today. Pic attached. Also pic of re-vinyled 172339 attached

 

[Chiltern006]

Why have LNWR suddenly stopped with the refurbishment

 

[centraltrains]

It should be at Tyseley. As a spare.

I go past Tyseley nearly every day and haven't seen it sitting in the sidings for around 2 or 3 weeks, which is odd as I use to see it around half the days... Hopefully just coincidence!

Fair enough

 

[sprinterguy]

170634 also now tangoed, and already with parts of the cabside WMR logo peeled off, as seen at New Street just now.

It was the first one to get tangoed for 170/6

 

[sprinterguy]

Oh right, I must have missed that update!
