156508 was en route to and from Landore Depot, Swansea for additional internal work primarily new seats. 156503 didn't go to EMR

Just done some digging and found that 156503 is temporarily on loan on to EMR. Apologies if I misled anybody.

156503 is with EMR to release two 153s to go to West Mids temporarily. As West Mids crews don't sign 156s, a move across three Abellio TOCs is the best way of doing it.
