156484 is back with Northern and is back at Heaton. It was released this morning so might be in service somewhere. 156420 was supposed to come out at the weekend but I knocked it back due to "other technical issues" when I looked at it on Thursday. No updates yet.

Indeed thanks, as always, DD. Any firm news as yet on whether 156401 will need to go elsewhere for repairs, or whether Newton Heath will be able to sort it "in house", after one car split the points a few weeks ago at NH?

It will be off on it's jollies on Monday via big lorries.
1> Where is 156401 being sent for repairs?
2> Is 156401 able to be moved round the Depot only I'm sure it hasn't been moved for a while and seems has been stabled at the side of the main shed for a week or so now? The only exit from the Depot that I think they will use is the one exiting onto St Mary's Road/Dean Lane
3> Any idea of what time on Monday the move of 156401 is planned to take place?

I drove 323202 today, which has now been reupholstered with Northern seat covers and brighter interior lights fitted.
Been seen on lorries heading towards Wolverton.

150225 should hopefully return this weekend (17th) 155345 won't be back for a few months yet at least.

Just looked and looks like nothing coming out of Wolverton, Kilmarnock or Long Marston this weekend
Is it outside?

156420 now back in service today after its C6 at Wolverton, another Heaton unit now working off Newton Heath, presumably until the Whitehaven Tunnel closure issue is resolved? Will 150225 return and then go to Neville Hill I wonder, to join 150224?

Couldn't get resource to return 150225 back from Kilmarnock over the weekend so it will probably be sometime this week.
