Both of them are in the sidings at Clapham and given there was a derailment there this morning, it probably messed things up a bit if they were planning to put one of them into service today.

It's a 9 car service short formed to 5, so the ECS moves between Torquay still have to happen regardless of whether a 5 can fit at Paignton or not

I know this isn't quite related to Northern but I didn't think it was worth making it's own thread for this. So, given the overhauls all of the sprinters are going through at Wolverton, will the three 150/1s that got sent to LNR also go through the same treatment? And would Northern send...

Chiltern are already struggling with reliability of their own units as it is so I very much doubt they'll be able to send a few over. 1786632320 The 4 plug door MK3 sets just withdrawn from Chiltern perhaps? Although, they're complaint yes but fit for traffic is another thing!

Between Cross Country making a case for those and EMR potentially having them short term, I don't see them going anywhere near GWR unfortunately

Unless things change it seems to only be 003 & 006 out today, one in service and one on the training runs

There's only 4 of them, 2 at Ely and 2 at Wolverton, unless also counting 156907 which is basically scrap metal.

701006 is currently split in half at Wimbledon

Correct, the order is: 60165, 60347, 60342, 60625, 60565, 60245

This might be a reach but it may be because the 175s are failing more which means more 150s needed to cover which then means more 166s needed to cover the 150s in the Exeter area

Those services only skip one station, Moor Park, and no Chiltern services have ever called there. The other stations it passes only have platforms on the underground side, so don't really count

172334 returned from Ilford today, replaced with 172333 going in for repaint

I believe they do but if they use it at Paignton when only a few carriages can fit on the platform, it would most likely overhang on the level crossing towards Goodrington

Apologies for the late reply but yes, correct! Over to you

Looking at the timetable from the 15th, services from Paddington will be able to run all the way to Paignton in service again instead of finishing at Torquay, but then still would still have to ECS back to Torquay to go back to Paddington

I'd imagine the 3 170s still in Greater Anglia will get repainted, or at the very least vinyled, when it's their turn for interior refurbishment

Unless there's another toilet hidden somewhere, the website is definitely wrong, has only ever been 1 toilet on the 360s.

And who's to say they won't also run the 221s into the ground if they had them?

165025 having another turn, but with it's lower half 165024 this time! As well at that, 037 & 038 are also together

Could it be because there's little to no difference mechanically and so they're all counted as one subclass to keep it simple? I believe that's why the 158/7s and 158/8s are classed as 158/0s, because there's no difference, and the /8s only exist because they ran out of 158/7 numbers (Excluding...
