150127 has had those at least a year!

The drivers seat in No1 cab of 153318
Also sports London Midland Green!

Due to no longer having spares, one arm rest in one of our day coaches on the NR is BR IC executive RED .... !

There's also a GWR 158 going around with one of the fold down vestibule seats in Northern Rail livery!

It probably looks like 150232 & 150247 but a 158 instead.

Well duh! Would be nice to see how they suit the colours

Sure about that? Sure I saw it yesterday sat on the Oak still in Brunswick green, though I was hurtling along so could of been mistaken....

May already be at OC. Some photos already on Flikr.

I'm posting this here as the more suitable thread is temporarily locked. (Plymouth Collision)

52219 now at Brodies in Kilmarnock for crash repairs. 57219 at SPM receiving new engine and transmission plus underframe and bogie repairs. Once done it will be coupled to 150238 and the formation numbered 150938.
Not with a 153 this time but another 3 Car 150 won't go amiss.

 

[superalbs]

Will the damaged cars go green whilst being repaired?

I travelled on a green (inside and out) HST to Devon today. Although the interior colour scheme works, it doesn't take account of being used and abused every day.

The grey doesn't work as the primary seat colour - several seats around me didn't look too good due to brown staining, presumably coffees going overboard (I hope!).

 

[co-tr-paul]

Been fed wrong info whilst off work. 57604 NOT yet repainted. Should still be at SPzM open day Monday.

166217 returned from Wolverton today.

166217 back at Reading TCD.
166218 has taken its place at Wolverton for a makeover.

Can vouch for that. Here is 166217 on her way back from Wolverton.

Interesting as it turned out it was 166214 that turned up at the St Phillips Marsh Open Day today.

Indeed-saw her there myself.

Don't suppose anyone has an update on when 150001 will be complete at Doncaster? Last time I saw, it was painted. However I understand it was undergoing an overhaul too, but can't be too much longer I suspect?

Don't hold your breath on that one!!

The return date keeps slipping and slipping.

I'm led to believe that as part of the overhaul 001 has had long range fuel tanks fitted as per 150002.

Will they be repainting 57604, or will it remain in its current shade of green?

Haha - cheers for the update. Must be being a pain. Sounds like could be summer before its return them, if GWR are lucky! Glad to hear they're fitting the long range fuel tanks to it to prepare for its work from Exeter.

 

[co-tr-paul]

604 will be done in same old style GWR as current. No update yet on when.

 

[jimm]

166217 was looking very shiny parked in a siding at the west end of Reading depot this afternoon. Still needs the GWR vinyl bits adding on top of the paintwork before going back into service.

SLEP 10563 back from repaint.

I heard from a friend that the 158 is coming along well, any ideas on when it will be returning to service, and what the refurbishment will entail? There better not be any ironing boards involved!

 

[Parallel]

I want to know what they're doing to the refreshed 150s - 150232 was locked out of use on a commuter service this morning due to an 'electrical problem'... Apparently the doors wouldn't release!

Possible bad news for you then. I was told at SPM that it's return to traffic is delayed due to it awaiting new seats! Fingers crossed for the same Grammer seats as per HSTs - Creating a ATW/ScotRail style refurbishment!
