FGW gains class 150s

[387star]

According to Modern Railways the 150s from Overground will progressively move to FGW at a quick pace of two per week from late september. Could someone track the movements down if possible?

Is it clear yet what kind of refurbishment these units will recieve and if the FGW local lines livery will be reworked?

Apparently 172s are all fine after all and production has stepped up again on LM units

A light refresh at first in the style of 150121 and 150127 with the possibility of a more thorough refurbishment once FGW have all their new 150s. Livery will at the very least be blue, not sure what, if anything, will be applied on top of the blue.

So all the hassle with 172's and theres nothing wrong at all. well that was amusing.

So is there not longer a 6-9 month delay on LM units?

Which issue of modern railways i thought octobers wasnt out till wednesday?

 

[MCR247]

Yes, there still is a delay with the LM units. And I think there still is a problem with the exhaust, but it doesn't really both LO

It's Octobers- I bought it only last week

NO problem with exhaust-'flawed emissions testing'

Manufacture restarting

MR nearly always succeeds in being on sale to the public on the fourth Friday each month, as planned.

Unless I'm barking up the wrong tree, does this mean a premature end to the loco hauled services Cardiff to Paignton / Taunton? After all, it was the wait for 150's to pass to FGW that would result in FGW to not need the 67's + MK2's
