I meant more units in total used by the TOC, not more units getting refurbed, but that's another story.

(for context, 170103 has now been refurbished, but with it being in a pride livery, all the posts have been moved to the pride livery thread - starting at post #32 of that thread).

Yep. I didn't know a thread was apparent until it all got moved.

I had the pride livery one (103?) sat at Gloucester P4 for 5 minutes on Wednesday and I seemed to notice it was CHSSSS-ing quite a lot. I'm guessing it was a pop off valve for air compression tanks or something.
Has anything been done to them that would make them CHSSSS! more often??

When the main air tanks reach about 7.9 bar the valve releases the excess air. It could be an air compressor is stuck on, so it’s constantly filling the tanks and then releasing it more often than it should.

How is 170102 getting on at Crewe if anyone knows please? I've been afk so I don't know the situation.

No idea but the fleet is really struggling at the moment. I heard only 22 out of 29 in traffic today. . How is that for a 26-27 year old fleet ?

There was a few at Tyseley when I went past on Thursday.

Another 170 in.
Well it will have a nice gentle return to service given XCs efforts today!
