786/789 have been down to Newton Heath for repaint and some EMT ones come to Neville Hill for work/exams but in both cases they have never have run in service. Maybe after December when Northern run Leeds to Nottingham they could run the moves to Neville Hill in service but its unlikely.

786/789 aren't with SWT anymore, they just haven't got round to repainting them.

I know, was just covering all options. Besides 786/789 have now been painted.

I drove those two although not many times they are the first two 158's I ever had driven.
