Transport For Wales Livery

[anamyd]

Gerald as had Transport for Wales and the ‘T’ logo added to each carriage (although not the driving cars). Still in ATW turquoise though.

Probably because he will become Mk4s later this year!

769 at Canton this morning , not yet in Tfw colours though . Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the first new train for the offical Wales and Borders TOC since 2011.

There was the Manchester/North Wales LHCS which was procured through the Welsh Government. 5 x 153s from GWR expected in next couple of week.

"new" train. The first new train you will get will be the Stadler's.

I thought it was the CAFs in 2021-22 and the last 5 of those in 2024, and the Stadlers in 2023...?

I'm afraid that I can't pass on somebody else's photo. Not ethical.

ohhkayyy

I assume 830 has also been PRM modified at the same time as the livery change...?

I might add that 150253 was behind it in the Bay at Crewe but not sure if that was returning from PRM Mods or not. That was the previous similar working of a 158 and 150 and splitting at Abbey Foregate with the 158 going to Machynlleth and the 150 going to Canton.

Ahh Abbey Foregate, where I grew up! (in a house, not the depot). So is 830 PRM modified then along with the livery change...?

Having now seen a photo of 830 on another website it does look as though it has been fitted with the new external door sounders, so I guess it has been PRM modified.

Thanks for that! Got a link...?

Can we link to other sites? Google North Wales Coast Railway noticeboard. It's about half way down

it's been done before without issue. thanks!

 

[anamyd]

it would appear that 150-253 has also been PRM'd. Now, does this mean there are now 4 PRM'd TfW 150s: 285, 284, 257 and 253...? Can someone confirm 257 is modified please...?

Here's a link to the latest noticeboard page, with the pictures: http://nwrail.org.uk/nw1903c.htm

(Note that the main noticeboard page you usually read, "nwnews.htm", is updated and replaced every week. The sidebar has a "Link this Issue" hyperlink, which points to the URL that the page will be archived at. By sharing this one, people will still be able to find the article/pictures you're referring to next week, or whenever.)

Last time I saw 257 it had digital displays on (the easiest giveaway from the outside for a PRM set) so yes. Not worked it yet though, or indeed any of the PRM 150s.

Wow, things are really moving quickly! Presumably 839 is getting PRM'd at the same time.

 

[anamyd]

Saw both 826 and 830 in person at Aberystwyth station today! Both look really nice (apart from the lack of branding / logos) and I also noted that new labels have been added above the retention tanks for, appropriately, CET DRAIN

Not seen any of that one, know where I could find it?

 

[anamyd]

It will turn up somewhere soon; it was in the paint shop on the 19th (re article17_gdpr's post asking where 839 could be found, which was since changed to "deleted post" for some reason)
