150002 moved down to Wolverton yesterday (Weds 14/10).

It's not going to be a livery. Jst some vinyls on the front and a name.

156401 has got a few issues ex-works so is still being worked on. I'd say about two weeks before it turns back out. 156420 I'm not sure about, not been involved in those conversations, but it's not a well unit since it came back. 150001 was supposed to return on the 7th but that's now been...

156423 - 19th Dec 156483 - 23rd Dec

The unit had been for w wheelset change and subsequent vehicle heights setting. The CAF shed has the only road that is known to be true and level to be able to set these up correctly.

Good list, but not quite right. Porterbrook units completed are 156401, 156420, 156452, 156466. Although 402, 409, 412, 416 - 419 & 422 had a C6 "lite" and corrosion works back in 21/22 they are still part of the current program (at the very back of the plans) so technically haven't been...

156401 is due out this weekend (5th). It did come out last week and promptly failed so returned. 449 is still on track for the 19th. No. There are no logos for the Northern fleet and nothing has been agreed to put them on. The designs have not been made or signed off. P.S. the first unit to...

No GBR logo either. Nothing like that. And 150150 still has all its Northern logos anyway. Possibly it was 150120 that was seen in "plain" as this has just returned from works. 150001 was due back 19th Sept but that's moved back. 150205 you won't see for a while, it's going into Wolverton round...

Nothing to do with GBR livery this.

Saw 175010 (or was it 110? mind's gone blank) at Wolverton yesterday (Thurs 27/08) looking rather resplendent in green GWR livery.

448 won't come out until at least the 14th Sept at the earliest. There is a block on the Carlisle line all the way upto Barrhill over the next few weeks.

150137 is actually due to go into works at the end of this year, but it might get pushed back in favour of other "worst" units. 139 & 141 are not planned until early 2031! All 3 units have already had C6 overhauls but the more extensive corrosion work (CSO) is still to be undertaken. In that...

All 3 need a transformers. There aren't many around therefore they have to wait in turns for a failed one to get repaired or overhauled and returned. Earliest release is 218 end of August, then 242 early Sept followed by 229.. That doesn't mean that 350's will start turning up at Allerton. All...
