The chapman seating was fitted at Andrew barcleys along with the bike rack and other subtle differences

It’s not at Doncaster , wabtec Doncaster is only doing the angel 150s , wabtec kilmarnock is doing a small number of porterbrook 150/2 but only northern units , it’s definitely not at Doncaster

It's at Wolverton

I thought it was 219 that came off worst in the collision at Plymouth - although 249 was at the rear it was checked and back in service in a matter of days.

Doncaster haven’t done a crash damaged unit for quite awhile , the driving car from the merseyrail 508 derailment was the last , before that they did a roof repair on a 142 that had a fridge dropped on it

 

[Apedlar12]

It's at Wolverton

Oh, I was told it was in Doncaster

Yeah but it has a bit of a dent beneath one of the cabs at one end

I didn't catch the number but I have just seen a FGW Livered class 150 pass Ash Bridge Junction at around 10:30 this morning heading in the direction of Stockport, presume it will be this one?

Many thanks chaps.

150 102 coming up early morning on 18th dec, should be in West yard 8am

 

[NorthernSpirit]

I’m not 100% sure, but I thought that Northern did operate a small number of ex-Wessex units. Maybe not though.

Northern did recieve some Wessex branded class 158's sometime in the last decade as I remember one unit having Heart of Wessex branding on it.

That would have been when FGW swapped the ex wessex 158s for the ex TPE 158s.
I think the ex Wessex 158s went to Northern, EMT & ATW

Not sure about ATW. They were certainly split between Northern, EMT and ScotRail.

Just passed Wilmslow with 150122 en roue Newton Heath

I think it was 150102 and 150122 wasn't it?

Also 143612 has returned from Bristol SPM as it was on the Devon Metro today replacing a 150 with 153372 (Too Many Pacers!)

Due to a shortage of 150s I would guess that the pacers will be in overall control on the Devon Metro until they can free up some more as 3 of the services on Thursday and Friday last week that should have been 150s were hatred pacers and today all but 1 of the services that should have been a 150 were pacers with 153s instead of 150s + 153s.

Says 150102 and 150122, doesn't it. Rest getting off thread.
