I was thinking of making a trip for these too so if anyone can confirm it will be 365s this Sunday that would be appreciated.

I've not updated this in a while but this post from Diamond Rail services confirms all 170's are now moquette. Any further updates on digital train mod fitment appreciated. https://www.linkedin.com/company/diamondrail?trk=organization-update_share-update_actor-text Liveries Northern livery...

150001 is back at Newton Heath, it was next to the new CAF shed this afternoon. Interesting that 150272 is going in for DTM as it already has these.

158755 has now had the digital train mods

769450 definitely has the blue moquette, there's only 769456 I haven't seen to confirm now.

A picture on the sprinter group on Facebook confirms it was 158791.

The Schrader hose can be used to drain air from a vehicle on a 150/1 (and presumably other 15x). As they don't have a valve to take the air out above A and C doors, if the door will not close and you need to drain the air off, the schrader hose is attached under a bay of seats and the entire...

769424 has the new seat covers. I'm sure all the 769's all do but I've yet to see 769450 and 769456 in the flesh to confirm. 1613230324 Updated lists 13/02/21, corrections welcome. Any further updates on 170 moquette changes and 158 digital train mods appreciated. Liveries Northern livery...

A pair of 323s will not fit at Layton (Up), Leyland, Adlington, Blackrod (Down), any intermediate stations between Bolton and Salford Crescent, most on the Airport branch except Heald Green and the Airport, or Woodsmoor towards Hazel Grove. 331's get round this with ASDO but unless they extend...

I believe they are having C4 exams done at Doncaster, there was a news article posted elsewhere but this is the only thing I can find referenced from a quick search.

I think the 15x going to Wolverton now are for exams aren't they?

I assume it's warranty work as the digital mods are done at Northern depots, I think most so far except possibly 156451 have been done at Newton Heath. 1611932553 See attached for both. I think the lack of removal is due to the cost, in the case of the parcels cupboard in taking it out and for...

150125 now has the moquette seat covers.

As above it depends on if the unit is coming on or off, but can also depend on the crew or if there is a defect with the gangway door that prevents it from being unlocked or held open (e.g. seized lock, missing catches/hooks).

There's still some on the flip down vestibule seats in the 3 car 158's, as well as on the flip down seats in the PRM areas of some of the Angel 150's and 156's, so I suspect it will linger on for a bit. There doesn't seem to be any correlation on the units that have been changed having flip...

Updated lists 25/01/21, corrections welcome. Any further updates on moquette changes appreciated, especially 150125/150206 as these are the last 2 15x to be done. There was speculation that 170453 would be the first 170 to be done in moquette, it is out in traffic but I haven't seen any...

I thought the switch was to close all doors. The current fault checklists suggest an MCB was tripped to lock the end set of doors out of use.

It will have had internal works, seat covers, handrails and panels repainting etc, as it still had the FGW interior.
