Digital train mods have already started on 150s. There's quite a few with USB, WiFi and the new screens running around now.

All Porterbrook 150’s have received them, as well as 150101. Have any others been done?

Does anybody know how many units still have flat cloth and the old ARN style logos?

The Porterbrook 150s and 156s were completed months ago but of the Angel sets only 150101/150220/156451/158845/158849 currently have the USB and wifi.

5 units with flat cloth and 5 with purple moquette. I understand the 170's are to be changed too but I've not yet seen any reports of once being done. Anything with Fainsa sets keeps the flat cloth and the 319's aren't getting changed as they go next year.

First 170 is being done at the moment while stopped for other repairs.

10.14 Crew to NH is running Probably 150 115 which went fo refurb on 21st Nov.
The return NH to Crewe has also run possibly 150 129 which is the last in refurbished 150./1.
Anyone confirm?
Thus would leave toiletless 150209 as the only unrefurbished 150.
Thanks

Both 150204 and 150272 have the moquette seats covers which I think now concludes the Neville Hill 150s

158903 has also now received digi-mods

skyhigh · 5 Dec 2020

170453 is the first 170 with the new seat covers, as I understand.

Still 150205 and 150206 to change from purple to blue, unless these have now been done.

I suspect that they will be the same. No point changing it suddenly with the majority of the fleet already done

Apologies to ask again but can anybody confirm that the only Porterbrook 156s based at Heaton are 156421, 156428, 156429 and 156441?

Many thanks indeed!

I think that might struggle with keeping to time!

Heaton has 4 Porterbrook 156s. These are 421/8/9/40. Unit 441 was Heaton but transferred back to NH. Number 156442 is a ScotRail unit.

Ignore this post - there’s been a unit swap to take it back to 323 operation.

I just wish I was at home so I could photograph it as it’s probably quite rare!

Sorry typo.156440 is shown as a Heaton Portabook unit.

Presumably the Fainsa seats will all be under warranty at the moment so they won't want to change the covers on them until whenever that expires...
