150/1 and 150/2 swaps

[LRV3004]

Good evening! Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere; I did do a thread search but can’t seem to find one so hopefully this isn’t a repeat question!
Does anyone happen to have a list of which 150/1 units have gone from Newton Heath to Neville Hill, and which 150/2 units have come the other way from Neville Hill to Newton Heath?
Many thanks in advance!

I wouldn’t know until tomorrow, I have the headcodes for both movements if you would like them too?

Thanks, but it’s just a complete list of which 150/1s have gone to Neville Hill, and which 150/2s have come to Newton Heath I’m after! Much appreciated though!

NL-NH so far 150201/03/04/05/06/10/11/14/15/18/20/28/68/69/70/71/72/73/77 (19 so far) with 150222/24/74/75/76 still to move. 150222 is in Woverton at present, so there are 5 still to move - there is a swap tomorrow booked as 5Z51/52.

I’ll try find the conversation for you and let you know what’s what, I spoke about this with someone not long ago.

Cheers - just trying to keep my records up to date! Thanks again!

This is the thread that you are looking for - Northern unit refurbishments and depot allocations.

I have as usual posted the transfers for Sunday 30th August on the thread that the previous poster has linked

Brilliant - I’ll take a look, thanks!

With the 150/1 and 150/2 swaps now nearing completion, does anyone know if the NH unit diagrams are to be revised to try and keep the /2's on the jobs where units are paired up? At the moment it appears that there are nowhere near enough units available for traffic, with around five "pair" diagrams a day running as single units.

I expect I have missed something. It's just that I have not seen what the purpose of swapping them has been?

The 150/2s have unit end gangways whereas the 150/1s don't. The west-side diagrams run as pairs of units more often, so it makes sense to have through gangways on the west side units, hence the swap.

I'm assuming it is so that more 4 car services can be formed of sets with gangway connections. To reduce fare dodging.

Oh yes, thank you. While I knew about the 150/2s having gangways (which is why I prefer them), I hadn't thought of this swap being to assist with them running in pairs.
