DMU's future

[Prestige15]

Just a random question, Of all dmu currently running today from 150-185 (Referring to the remaining 22 class 185) Where would you see them in 10 years time?

All running on the mainline. All of them.

All still about with the possible exception of the 153S.

 

[physics34]

appropriate question now that some of the Great Western electrification has been deferred

I suspect the steel bodied 150, and particularly the the tinworm infected 153, and 155's will, without major work have rusted away.

I'd couple all 15Xs into 11-car sets and have them operating Open Access services between Huddersfield and London.
Then I'd uprate the 153 engines to haul Class 442s around as LHCS making 6-car sets for the S&C...



I'm sorry, seriously I'd imagine that Classes 150 and 155 will be probably plugging gaps where pacers had been previously been working. 153s will either have been reformed to 155 sets or be used exclusively to strengthen other services.
