The 175 that was visible at Longsight has now disappeared but unsure where to.
It was still there last week.The 175 that was visible at Longsight has now disappeared but unsure where to.
Somewhere I read that a couple of TfW class 150s had been withdrawn as life expired, and had been withdrawn for spares , but I cannot recall the numbers. But they went to Landore.150260 and 150235 Canton - Shrewsbury - Newton Heath TMD. Two more 150's being retired or transferred to Northern?

From what I remember that's 236 & 281 currently.Somewhere I read that a couple of TfW class 150s had been withdrawn as life expired, and had been withdrawn for spares , but I cannot recall the numbers. But they went to Landore.
175111.The 175 at Longsight (110?) two coaches of which had been parked at the south end for many months, regained its third coach a couple of weeks ago. Late last week, the whole unit was parked in the sidings to the north of the shed where TPE Mk5 were often to be seen.

I didn't think Chester had a lathe, they tend to go to the ETD at Crewe.Some one posted a while ago its broken, I presume Chester is too unless its set up now purely for 197s? Either way it seems a hell of a long way to go for the wheel lathe. Where do GWR go their wheel lathe work?

A 197 also went to Newton Heath for maintenance earlier this year so it's not unprecedented that a TfW unit would go to Newton Heath.I didn't think Chester had a lathe, they tend to go to the ETD at Crewe.
Longsight is a magical depotIs 175111 still at Longsight? I went past one morning last week and it was being attached to one of the Class 08s and when I went past later on in the evening it had disappeared.

Possibly they'd need to go to Exeter not st Phillip Marsh? Or possibly St Phillip Marsh doesn't have availability.Of course and the fact Newton Heath also has CAF staff working there means its not unusual at all but to send a 150 on a 400 mile round trip considering St Philips Marsh is 40 odd, is odd.
The 175 that's been at Longsight going back to Landore perhaps:

175111 at Llanharan!
I would assume 236 has had the same treatment?Apparent reports of 150281's lights being ripped out at Landore, meaning that it's now being taken for parts and is soon to head for scrap, that's for sure.
Haven't got any photo evidence but I wouldn't be surprised by this news.
