Done :D

Does anyone know what's up with 165130? It's been out of service for nearly 3 months now.

GWR need all the stock they can get so they won't be releasing anything. Especially given both the 150s and 175s are currently being refurbished/overhauled for them.

Will there be some 321s on the move tomorrow? I've noticed a few services, ran by Hanson & Hall, pathed as 321s for tomorrow, going from Wembley to Northampton, then Birmingham and back. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K66385/2026-08-27/detailed...

Kilmarnock I believe. 1787778782 Also unless I'm really off the mark, I've noticed that the unit being repainted has it's first hopper window moved down 2 windows. The SR units have that, by either 1 or 2 windows I believe, whereas the SWR units keep it by the door.

They're not, it was never Salisbury. The 158s are being done in Scotland, the SWR 159s are being done in Bournemouth, but the unit in that photo isn't Salisbury nor a SWR unit, it's a SR 158 up in Scotland, unless I am very sorely mistaken here.

The 159s are being done at Bournemouth not Salisbury. It's a ScotRail 158. Also, the headlight covers the SR units have would have been taken off during repaint anyway so that isn't really a factor here.

220027 hasn't been out since May, and having seen a video of 220001 from a few days ago, can confirm it has 60727 in it. Seems to be a recent thing as 220001 still had 60701 in it just a month ago.

Speaking of 170623, is there any update on that one post collision? I assume it's undergoing repair somewhere

Bit further ahead than that. 501-511 are done and 512 is the one currently being done.

While speeding up the returbs would be great, doesn't work that way and they've not even started yet! I've not even heard anything more about it actually happening in the first place 1787844865 No new 165 heading off to Doncaster today, only 009 going back for its second round. 165003 is still...

Confirmed 170106 https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:K02915/2026-08-23/detailed

Very ambitious to assume anyone will actually get their order considering you're more than likely to be delayed or cancelled.

Fairly sure that's either 153384 which is already converted or 153381, which is being converted at Long Marston

It can either be a TfW one or a Network Rail one and the NR ones tend to be done at Long Marston, so I'd guess it's a TfW one going through overhaul perhaps?
