A few years back when Oxford-Didcot was shut because that bridge needed repairs, the 165s stuck at Oxford went to the depot at Banbury for refueling, so they might need to do that again?

They also ran 15 car 221s in service during the Euston blockades. XC also have a booked triple voyager ecs move, usually 2x 220 & 1 221

Their last refurb was around 2023. The 166s have different air con to the 165s, I believe the 165s have air cooling whereas the 166s have air con, and the 166s are absolutely terrible because of it, it never works and always makes the train hotter inside than it is outside

Turns out I'm blind! :D didn't even notice two units being allocated, only saw 062 and thought 072 was just incorrectly showing as 062 when you clicked on it!

Bit odd but RTT shows 345062 doing that service, even though when you search for 072 it shows that service, and then when you actually open the service up it shows 062

153331 is now 153531 and running as part of set AT03 for TFW

The WMT ones return there for maintenance every now and then

I believe it is for a 730/2 but a 730/0 has already been dragged by a 93.

As someone who will forever hate GBR with every fibre of my being, the livery isn't completely a lost cause in my opinion. The colours are fine and work well together, mostly, however the design itself looks like it was made by a 4 year old on MS Paint. It's too sharp and too harsh and would...

Still at Long Marston as of a month ago, as seen in this video: Although it's now in a siding that appears to be accessible by road, so that might suggest it will be on the move soon?

Getting back on topic, does anyone know where CH11 is? Seems to be the one set avoiding entering service

Yes 003 & 028 are at Doncaster, 028 will be coming back on Thursday, no idea when 003 is coming back. I've also seen a photo of 168110 looking almost complete at Crewe, so it shouldn't be too long before that one comes back. 1790207748 168110 is due to return tomorrow (25th), with another unit...

I seriously hope they don't! Don't want another fleet plagued by that livery

The 15:02 is 2 168/3s and the /3s do seem to be failing more often than the other subclasses recently

A lot of the Birmingham services are still pathed as 168s but state first and standard seating, so that implies those will also be MK5 sets, as other Birmingham services say standard only.

I don't believe they need a replacement, they were always meant to be a temporary measure to cover for unavailable 180s, from what I remember

Todays moves: 165028 to Doncaster, 165021 back to Banbury, still no sign of 003 going back

Did the event at Marylebone even happen this morning? I'm not seeing any coverage of it anywhere.

The departures from Marylebone are the 08:07, 11:02, 16:37, 17:37 & 18:37 The 17:37 is only to Princes Risborough however.

There's a complete mockup cab that was built but I'm not sure where that resides now.
