Don't GA have more 156's than that? I'm sure there is one still in Central Trains Green livery.

Yes they have more than that. 156412 & 418 are the CT green ones. I've not put all the units in as I can't remember which order they're being done. All I can remember is 402 first, followed by 422, and 417 is the last to go after 407/09/12/16/18/19.

Have any of the last trio of FGE 321s (443, 447 , 448) been relivered yet? Last update was that 440 & 441 were at Doncaster, but this was a few weeks ago.

Same question about the last few 317s to be reliveried - 663-665, 667, 668, 670 - and any more 315s treated above the trio reported done?

448 is going to have an experimental rebuild done at wabtec so it won't be seen again in it's current form.

317663/665/667/668 and 670 are all running around in blue still. I've not seen 317664 for a couple of weeks now. It may be in Ilford for relivery. I'll try and get this confirmed.

No more 315's as yet. However, from the December timetable change, it is rumoured that 3 less of the class will be diagrammed for daily use to enable works to take place. I'm led to believe it will be more work than a relivery. More when known.

I'm a bit out of touch with the 321's at the moment. However, as someone has said, 321448 is having a complete overhaul when it goes to Wabtec, in the form of a new traction package. It'll be very similar to what 317722 is having done at Ilford.

All 321's (except 1) that carried the old First Great Eastern livery have now been painted with the penultimate one, 321443 spotted heading south on the East Coast Mainline a short time ago.

321448 is the last unit to still carry the old livery, and should be off to Doncaster for its make over later this week.

I'm pretty sure 170456 went for a interior repaint last year as well as 457, doesn't that mean they'll just go for a repaint only? What is the purpose of the ex hull trains 170393-396 getting their first class removed?

170456-457 did indeed have an interior refurbishment (not just repaint) last year, with new ScotRail style carpets and seat covers etc, as well as gaining first class. Presumably they will just have outstanding mechnical work done and external repaint to bring them in line with 170450-455.

From memory, 170393-396 had more first class seating than the original ScotRail sets, so perhaps the decision was taken to replace it all in one go in an attempt to standardise their layout and type of seating used. Can't recall off hand what has happened to the buffet areas of these - also been removed?

Ryan Tranmer's photographs found on flickr show southeastern's 466024/028 heading north through Peterborough on October 6th.

Lewis Smith's photo confirms 466030 in new livery.

The first 318 to be refurbished and repainted into the saltire livery will begin next week with 318255 entering springburn works begin on friday and expected to be released in January.

314209 I think gets released today and 314206 I think enters today.

The London midland livery really suites the 150s. It makes them look a lot younger. Also is this showing that they're staying at LM and not moving to FGW or Northern?

I think these three are eventually destined to move down to GW, but will only do so when the East West link (phase 1) is completed and releases these Sprinters from the duties.

170456 is released, replacing it with 170457.

I noticed some 158s and 170s are visiting kilmarnock works for attention, why?

are all the ex hull units 170393-96 got their first class removed and will they return for interior refresh and relivery. will this apply for 170458-461 and 170470-478?

Is it true that the 158s are getting refurbished and repainted in the saltire livery next year? when will the ex northern ones getting interior refresh like the current saltire 170s?

what kind of works are they doing to the 156s at the moment, when will they get repainted (the first 'barbie' ones)?

317664 released from Ilford tonight in plain white with red doors- but no branding.

I believe 317663 is now being painted as that's not been around for a week or so. 317665/667/668 & 670 all still kicking around in blue.
