Also spotted 150265 + 150266 together today on the Devon metro. Two of the units I worked on during my work experience at Exeter TMD!

For obvious reasons you'll never get two 710/0s in the same train, but I note that the only two not currently in passenger service are a consecutive pair. (I was going to say "not yet", but 028 was in passenger service for a single week in early 2024)

Had me completely fooled there. You mean 701/0s of course and yes the only two not yet accepted are consecutively numbered. (albeit 701028 had a brief stint in service).

Given that the 701/5s are (according to reports) permanently paired, at least to start with, any chance that they can pair them sequentially?

Probably not, due to the randomness of their release to service...

Well 701528 and 701529 spend almost all their time together in the same siding at Clapham Junction - must be for over a year now ?. It is only almost because I believe they are used for training on uncoupling and coupling so they really do hang around very persistently together.

Oh, beat this from the 398 thread.
chargesmith said:
Looks like 3 out today again, 029, 030 and 031, which will satisfy those who like consecutive numbers!

Doesn't look like anything is due out in service tomorrow now so presumably the plan has changed again, or I misread it initially.

They are not coupled together, nor are they the only 398s out today (there are another three running on test/training in addition to those 3 in passenger service)
I could just as easily claim 11 with 150121, 150122, 150123, 150124, 150125, 150126, 150127, 150128, 150129, 150130 and 150131 which are all out today (doubtless longer lists will be available)

But they are the only 398s out. The 150s are not.

Yes. I had overlooked that and with, by luck, a group of three accepted !.
