FGW - only 158778 remains in TPE livery. 158746, 158776 at Wabtec Doncaster.

Scot-Rail forums advised that 158716 is at Springburn and the last (158719) should go in on 23rd June.

ATW 175007 in Arriva livery.

According to posts on the Thameslink yahoo group, all 319/4s have now been repainted, except:
319454, which is at Wolverton
319430 and 455 which are still in silver / blue.

No other subclasses have been repainted recently.

FGW 158778 now at Wabtec = last of class.

Thanks thelem for confirmation of 319/4s - had already posted up to 319453. So now I will remove 319454.

First Scot-Rail 158719 has gone into Springburn works for refurb and relivery - the absolute last train in the NatEx Scot Rail livery.

thejunction reports 317339 now at Wabtec Doncaster and 319361 at Wolverton.

FSR 158786 at Newton Heath - speculation it will return to Northern (soon followed by 158789).

455 is currently being refreshed and overhauled at Wolverton, is it not? The rate of 319 'conversions' is rather slow but I would be surprised if they were still at it when 12-car Thameslink services begin.

I saw 317340 at Moorgate yesterday - the first refreshed 317 on Thameslink North metals.

Not the first relivery'ed 317 on the MML metals though!

319455 has been released from Wolverton.

319362 has entered Wolverton.

158786 (ex FSR) is at Newton Heath prepared for painting - probably for Northern; 158789 expected to follow.

Will they treat the 319/3s in sequential order all the way to 386 I wonder? The silver Thameslink livery lives to fight another, er...fortnight.

158786 is back in Scotland, now in FSR livery
The other Northern 158s will also remain on sub-lease to FSR for at least the next 12 months
158719 was released from Glasgow Works also in FSR livery

430/010 perhaps? ;) [Actually I don't know the numbers involved]

It'll happen - here's an excerpt from a LTW meeting (page 16):

FCC would use a wide range of communications to keep passengers informed:
• Station-based activity including posters both inside and outside
• Text and email alerts
• Printed communications including passenger magazines and updates
• Airport communications
• On-train communications including screens and posters
• Trains re-liveried with “Thameslink Programme” branding
• Staff – existing and additional
• Thameslink Programme (TLP) website portal.


By the way, there are now 35 refreshed 319s. 369 and (possibly) 364 are now being worked on at Wolverton.
