Class 185 refurbishment for TPE.

[Jamesrob637]

Can indeed confirm 185107 has been redone - saw it this afternoon in multiple with 185140 on the way to Manchester Picc.

On 1P53 York to Manchester Airport

 

[ValleyLines142]

Ooh thanks for that! I did look on Flickr for 185102 and 185107 but the most recent uploads were of them still on old livery! They must have been uploaded shortly after.

So we are now as follows:

185101, 185102, 185103, 185104, 185105, 185106, 185107, 185108, 185109, 185110, 185111, 185112, 185113, 185114, 185115, 185116, 185117, 185118, 185119, 185120, 185121, 185122, 185123, 185124, 185125, 185126, 185127, 185128, 185129, 185130, 185131, 185132, 185133, 185134, 185135, 185136, 185137, 185138, 185139, 185140, 185141, 185142, 185143, 185144, 185145, 185146, 185147, 185148, 185149, 185150, 185151.

On 1P53 York to Manchester Airport

That's the one

Shall we all take a guess as to which unit will be the last to be repainted? I think it'll be 185132!

 

[185143]

Shall we all take a guess as to which unit will be the last to be repainted? I think it'll be 185132!

I hope it'll be 185143!

I'm going for '110, since it was the last one to be seen in the original 'barbie' livery. No logic there I know!

It isn't! 185110 is the latest in the new livery, seen working the 1255 Manchester Airport to Cleethorpes on Monday.

Afraid not

185110 is still in Dynamic lines livery. I worked it yesterday and saw it this morning in old colours still

Oh, some uploaded a picture of it in the new colours on Flickr. Must be a typo! I take it back.

On Trust it had 185134 down for working that train, maybe '134 is in the new livery instead?

I think I saw 134 yesterday and that was still in the old livery too

 

[gimmea50anyday]

Managed to work a diagram last week where all 4 units I worked carried the old livery!

Just seen 185134 in old colours depart Huddersfield towards Leeds

 

[ValleyLines142]

Need to update this now that 185110 isn't in the new livery.

185101, 185102, 185103, 185104, 185105, 185106, 185107, 185108, 185109, 185110, 185111, 185112, 185113, 185114, 185115, 185116, 185117, 185118, 185119, 185120, 185121, 185122, 185123, 185124, 185125, 185126, 185127, 185128, 185129, 185130, 185131, 185132, 185133, 185134, 185135, 185136, 185137, 185138, 185139, 185140, 185141, 185142, 185143, 185144, 185145, 185146, 185147, 185148, 185149, 185150, 185151.

 

[Platform9]

I *think* Its 111 next out. Rumour also has 101 as the 1st internal refurb too.

 

[Philip]

I've seen 185113 and 143 today both still in the old livery.

 

[Crossforth]

I *think* Its 111 next out. Rumour also has 101 as the 1st internal refurb too.

I saw 111 paired with 117 this morning, both in new livery.

The rumour about 101 is correct. I heard it from the MD himself so I'd like to think he's a trustworthy source

 

[ValleyLines142]

So we're now at this stage?

Anyone got a picture of 185101's internal refurb?

185101, 185102, 185103, 185104, 185105, 185106, 185107, 185108, 185109, 185110, 185111, 185112, 185113, 185114, 185115, 185116, 185117, 185118, 185119, 185120, 185121, 185122, 185123, 185124, 185125, 185126, 185127, 185128, 185129, 185130, 185131, 185132, 185133, 185134, 185135, 185136, 185137, 185138, 185139, 185140, 185141, 185142, 185143, 185144, 185145, 185146, 185147, 185148, 185149, 185150, 185151.

As far as I'm aware, 101 is still on York depot and if the original plan is being stuck to then the mods won't be visible yet. They're for things like wifi fitment and ASDO

 

[gimmea50anyday]

Be a few weeks yet. July 16th has been mentioned internally but I cannot confirm this

 

[Platform9]

I think 101 will be out a little bit sooner than that, at what stage of refurb is anyones guess though.

143 should be next for the new livery from what I'm told.

So over 260 posts in a 'Class 185 refurbishment' thread and most of them refer to 185s getting a new livery but not yet being refurbished!

It will go on to refurbishments after!

 

[BMIFlyer]

The refurb of 101 is going okay so far. The first inspection of the new interior happened today.

The first few units to be done won't have the new catering module fitted as these are still being constructed, but they will be retrofitted as soon as can be done.

The new catering trolleys are on test and should be ready soon for mass introduction.

I'll update again soon with more info.

The plan now is that the units will come out of the shed with all the new stuff fitted, which is what was not the original plan.

Can't post the photos I'm afraid but all is looking good at the moment.

Catering trolleys tests ? - tell me more...my interest is well and truly piqued.

Testing/certification.

The new trolleys are taller, lighter, slimmer. Designed to fit into the new module on the 185 that will be installed. They will also be compatible with the new train fleets when they arrive.

That's all I can say really.

Oh. I was hoping that the testing was a race round the staff car park.
