158770 next up into the refurb shed at Eastcroft as of this afternoon.

158852 back to Eastcroft (I havent checked for a path) in the next few days, with 158854 ready to go to Bristol tomorrow.

158810

170511 should be back out tomorrow in service and 512 to Crewe this weekend.

158813 is the first wrapped at Eastcroft and is almost done. The others will return for that and some other internal works at some point. 158810 is the next unit for a refresh.

170510 and 170511 swapped yesterday Etches-Crewe.

Last train out of Nottingham to Boston on a Saturday (1945) is 2x158s which stable until Monday morning. Think one comes off Eastcroft to join the inbound from Skegness and off they go. Skegness services are 2x158s Monday, Fridays and Saturdays from tomorrow.

You'll struggle to see any current refurb units in the shed at the very back of the depot from the running lines in either direction, the main depot isn't used for refurbishments but has recently expanded for that reason

158777 should be back in service next week, in its old colours. 158813 next in at Eastcroft possibly this weekend and should be the first external done there. 170509 arrived back at Etches Park on Thursday with 510 now at Crewe.

777 at the moment and there's currently a push to get it wrapped at Eastcroft before but if not the next unit being done at Eastcroft will be the first to be done externally.

158785 has been in service for 2 days now. Looks like there's paths for 170509 and one assumes 170510 to swap out of Crewe and Etches on Sunday.

Trying a third time for 158785 on Saturday to do the run to Eastcroft from Bristol, to be replaced by 158852.

158785/863 moves not happening today.

170502 back in service today after 4 months out.

158773 to Etches Park tonight at 0045 from Eastcroft, unusual time for the move but due to a 30mph restriction. Just seen on LinkedIn that 170507 is back to Derby on Sunday, assuming 170509 is heading the other way
