170105 is now out of Crewe and in service.
I've heard that 170106 has gone in but can't confirm it yet.

What units are left to be refurbished now? I've lost track since the first one went in?

I took the 105 today between CMB and SSD. I can confirm that it's a great experience and XC no longer has the worst trains in the UK.

I used to take more expensive and longer trips via London to avoid using it, but now I wouldn't mind spending several hours in these trains.

Thanks for the update.



Yes, the first non-170/1 to go in.
170618 is the first of the XC Pride 170s, I wonder if it'll come out in a livery like that on 170103?
Probably not considering 103 in the main pride livery.
