I've definitely seen it happening before (although on at least one occasion the 153 was coupled to a 150...)

Class 156 to Whifflet

I think that still happens - but most services on that line these days are also 158s (strangely in my opinion, not least when 156s are still on the Shotts line).

I know it does happen, just not as often (and as I say, it seems daft as the 158s are generally regarded as more suitable for longer distances).

And I can only say I wish I had been able to take part in the Strathclyde Challenge, especially as it's ostensibly my local area when I'm not in Southampton!
