Should be 150003 & 156472 returning with 156472 then working forward to Heaton Correct.

156452 has indeed returned to GRS for rectification work. With it was 156488 which has corrosion issues that the depot couldn't repair, therefore it will enter the C6 & CSO program early. 156420 is having a few issues which are difficult to track down but might have to revisit as well (but...

156472 was expected to be released this week (14/03) but has gone back to next week now. 156481 is circa beginning of May. 150003 is supposedly next week as well. 150275 at the moment is due out 28th March.

Not Northern - Angel Trains & Porterbrook have contracted the works.

It went back to GRS for some work that hadn't been finished.

156488 didn't get far before returning to depot and cancelled. Yes it is. 150275 should be possibly maybe mid-March.

The motors on the 769's are the GEC G315BZ type (2000/D19517) not the EE507's. They flash over quite a bit, there's also been issues (at the start) with out of parity comms, these often used to require skimming.

Most issues with 769's revolve around the electronics that control the engines and associated equipment. Just like they always did when they were normal 319's, traction motor issues are always an issue with 769's. That's normally most of the faults covered in one sentence.

Some of the units have already had C4 overhauls at ATC Crewe. The dates on the bogie ID plates is the overhaul date and the warranty date (i.e 10/22 overhaul date, 10/23 warranty date).

434 & 456 are the only 2 that have had C4 whilst undergoing C6. Not sure on the lease date, I would guess that it's tied in with the new franchise/DOHL takeover and new train build, which would put it at 2030/31 at least.

434 & 456 have both had a C4 overhaul whilst they had their C6, which meant overhauled bogies with overhauled traction motors which would explain why they are "quieter" than 431, for example. The original "as built" door system on the 319's was a Westinghouse system which has been in use for...

C6 Overhaul and CSO (Continuous Service Operation) works (mainly tackling corrosion) and repaint. Plus upgraded passenger door system being fitted.

Basically, no. They get life extensions implemented on them. 150275's new updated output date is now the 27th Feb (possibly).

Weds 4th Feb.

150107 out 150120 in and 156484 returning for some retro action.

There are 3 Angel Class 156's now allocated to Newton Heath. 1769604067 The unit was moved by road to Wolverton for storage after the derailment. After many months of storage, Gemini Rail Services (Wolverton) declined to quote for the work to repair. The repair of this unit then went out to...

Not really. The vehicles are all sat on stands with bogies out at the moment. Lots of background work ongoing over scope of repairs and bogie overhauls. Won't see this unit for some time still.

158905 is currently stopped at Neville Hill. The repaints aren't due for a couple more years yet.

150107 & 156452 supposedly end of Jan. 150225 should be coming out tomorrow (Thursday) 22nd, 150275 has moved back to Feb.

Yes, it does on the 150, 155 & 156's. Not on the 158's though.
