Someone I've picked up on over the last week...

Last week I was sat just outside Chesterfield when I noticed the Vist Keighley 158 860 pass with an orange scrolling destination display.
Also this morning on my way to Doncaster, I noticed one of the 158s that left towards Leeds (Also 2 car) had the orange display.

I was aware that some of the 158s already had the orange display, although I wasn't aware how many they were.
Is this a new thing for Northern? Or have I just not picked up on this before?

There was only one Northern 158 with an orange display before and that was 158758. I saw 158860 the other day at Victoria and didn't notice the new display so I guess its only at one end!

They are the only ones so far.

If its anything like the rest of the Northern mods they will probably have a few 158s running with LED displays at one end and broken displays at the other lol. Same as those 142s with the super bright LED lights around the door controls. They seemed to give up after about two and a half units!
