And who is getting the Vivarail D trains?

Had you thought of asking in the D train thread? The quick answer is no one has a clue yet.

If Northern and FGW are to lose all their Pacers by 2020, will they all end up with ATW?

The refurbished 144 is back with Northern, although I've not seen any reports of it in service. If this complies with DDA regs and the remaining 144s and 143s are similarly treated, they could all be operated by ATW for a few more years, releasing their 142s, which would be withdrawn.

D trains to be trialled on Plymouth to Gunnislake line :roll:

DDA compliant 143s and 144s concentrated with ATW in the valleys as a stop-gap until electrification seems a very sensible move IMHO.

I'd have thought the Ply/pgn Cardiff service would go to being consistently a 158?

Reported on Yahoo group that 08 00 Cardiff to Paignton today being worked by 158956 lieu 150. The 153 still attached as usual (additional carriage bonus) s it has to go to Exeter anyway for 15 45 to Plymouth.

Further to post yesterday, I have learned that 158956 running around as a 2 Car Set no so bonus !!!
