London Midland Class 150/1 Refresh

[SprinterMan]

as seen in operation on The Marston Vale line yesterday evening (this is the 21:01 service form Blethcley to Bedford)

Wow, it looks great
Although for a second there, I did mistake it for a 323 :P

Looks really nice! When i visited Bletchley on Wednesday there was a Central Trains liveried 150 there, 150107
Any idea if/when this unit will be reliveried?

The two remaining 150's are off for a repaint - i think one is there already.

As 107 was in Bletchley on Wednesday, that'll be 105 in Brizzle then.

On my way down to Marylebone on the train this morning, there was a CT liveried 150 in the depot at Tyseley — would this be 150109?

I wonder if the newly painted 150 will be on the Hereford line, anyone know the 150 bookings for this line?
I wonder if the internal refurbs for the class 150s will include next station information displays, like the class 153s

I think most refurb's that I have seen have had Next Station displays added in where possible to the trains, unless for some reason it cannot be done due to the height of the carriages.

Will the 150s be getting the LM moquette or will they stay the same inside?

I would imagine that the Class 150's will be getting the same refresh inside that the Class 323's had, wouldn't they?

I imagine it'll be a refresh rather than a refurb, so they will receive a seat trim only. Hopefully they get a full refurb though

Yeah, the majority:-
153
158
165

LMs class 323 didn't receive them

Nope, at 109 is the LM liveried unit. As 109 is now on the Marston Vale, you would have seen 150107.

I doubt it as it seems to have taken LM long enough to decide whether to repaint their 3 150s so far. Also, as they are due to move onto FGW / or anyone else within the next few years, i would be supprised if they were fitted with a PA system. CCTV yes, but an expensive PA?

 

[DarloRich]

There has been no internal refurb at all other than a sweep out.

I think 107 went pop on Saturday hence 109 pitching up

Its broken... Odd hours ex Bletchley cancelled due to DMU failure, 153375 going strong on the other diagram.

 

[DarloRich]

Yep - it has burst again despite the fancy new paint work! 153375 sounds like a bg of spanners and was terrible the last time it was down here. It had all the power of a mini metro!

I expect they've got all the fitters out driving trains

(Kidding, obviously...)
