Don't think it'll be 480 as it stables at Newcastle tonight

Educated guess is that it will be 156449, reported elsewhere as "excessively corroded"!

I’ve been told 150131 and 150136 are on today’s 5Z51 transfer move from Newton Heath T.M.D. to Neville Hill T.M.D.

I think in the end Dave only 131 went, I wasn't on this morning but I know there was some issues. 201 is now on this side.

Most of the ones so far are just body overhaul. I suspect 449 being the same. As it was only refurbished internally around 5 years ago.

Is 156449 just for corrosion repairs or a full overhaul. Also any dates on when 150275 is returning.

156449 will be having full body repairs and C6 overhaul.

150275 should be returning on Tuesday 9th June (this year!).

195124 is running on the Leeds to Knottingley services today, does anyone know why?

Hopefully this will become normal as the 195s are a huge upgrade over the normal 150s in my opinion!

I heard a lot more 195 and 331 where originally to be ordered but DfT cut the order back and insisted on the 2 car formations.
Which have been a complete disaster as not big enough for routes they cover as a guard they are shocking to work

Largely because the intention when they were ordered was that they would have the driver controlling dispatch so the guards' kit is a distinct afterthought which works incredibly badly, hence the desire to get driver door release in.

323229 has not been seen for almost 5 months.
If the future of the 323s is in doubt (due to potential replacement with fleet that can’t be named) is this going to be repaired, presuming it is broken?
323218 & 323342 also been out of service for 3 months.

I see there is a 5N31 Wolverton Centre to Newton Heath working for Saturday, which i guess is 156466 returning. There is also a 5H70 return working. One for diligentdave is 155345 still due for release on 19th June. MTIA
