Would appear to be. It finishes at Sheffield tonight on RTT so it'd be a stretch to get to Heaton tomorrow night for Monday.

Even though there will be no more trains in purple livery, a handful will still have purple seating. I rode 158 491 last September for example.

I'm fairly certain once 861 goes there won't be any 158s remaining with purple seating. I presume you mean 156 491?

Oh yes, whoops, it was 156 491. I even remember being disappointed that it wasn't a refurb 158 but I did ride a refurb 158 just 2 days later.

I thought 156491 had already had its purple seat covers replaced with the new blue moquette. Excluding the 319s the only refurbed unit showing on the last update with purple seats was 150206 unless this is incorrect?

Maybe it has, but as my journey had been last September the seating may have been replaced since then. Shortly before Christma I saw a handful of repainted 150s with purple seating and yellow grabrails.

Yes, it seems that on a few of the 150s and pretty much all of the 156s the interior repaint was done separately from the seat covers

All the 156s now have the new seat covers. The Angel ones were done separate to the interior repaint. The last one was done just before Christmas. They need the wifi/USB modifications doing now. Only 451 has this out of the Angel units.

Updated lists 25/01/21, corrections welcome. Any further updates on moquette changes appreciated, especially 150125/150206 as these are the last 2 15x to be done. There was speculation that 170453 would be the first 170 to be done in moquette, it is out in traffic but I haven't seen any confirmation if this is the case. Digital train mods continue with 158759, 158905 and 158906 now fitted.

Wow, so the only units with the stiped Serco-Abellio Northern seat coverings left are 150206 and 158861 - Its amazing to think that thats all that remains in service of a very significant chapter for the north of England's railways.

Aside from this the only Northern units in service to feature a non-standard seat covering design are some of the 319s which of course aren't planned to be kept long term.

It has taken them just under 5 years from the start of the franchise to do it though, 4 if we don't count the trial interior. ;)

There's still some on the flip down vestibule seats in the 3 car 158's, as well as on the flip down seats in the PRM areas of some of the Angel 150's and 156's, so I suspect it will linger on for a bit.

There doesn't seem to be any correlation on the units that have been changed having flip down seats (and bench seats on the 150's) changed from flat cloth either, quite a few retain it in that area, but obviously that's less noticeable than purple where there should be blue.
