Also 153383 is now a Network Rail unit.

Also there is only 3x EMT 153s at Ely 319 355 & 357.

Why are they being stored given their age?

There is a list from January here:

TfW withdrawals (Now just 150/158s to go)

Any ideas which 150's will be out around Cardiff tomorrow and if so what diagrams/ headcodes are the running as , as I would like to catch a few.

153325 additionally showing at Landore stored, I’ve not checked if there are any more additions to your list.

Ashville don't have anything to do with railhead anymore since going into admin.

It's been taken over by Powerday.

Oh that's interesting - knew bits of Ashville survived Admin, including the entity that was running the railhead but maybe things evolved after that - bit weird seeing the site pics lacking the previous 'clutter'

Obviously we can't make assumptions of what part businesses are still active as Daniel hasn't been very open (understandably) about the whole situtation. However judging by his Instagram posts since the last weekly episode, it suggests his main focus might be on the construction side of the business, However we won't know if he still has any involvement with the railhead or network rail till weekly shows come back.

Hm interesting ... Does anyone know when 153383 first entered service with NR, please?

New video on the Ashville channel mentions at the 16 minute mark that the idea of bringing in the 153, and converting it into a reception area has been scrapped, since the yard is no longer owned by Ashville. No clue if Ashville still own the 153, I'd guess not.
Only the house consutruction/refurbishment business entitiy still exists.

Seem to recall there is/was a 153 in LM livery dumped in Cocklebury Sidings at Swindon, no idea whether it’s ‘stored’, demic or something else?

That one is 153354. I believe it's being used for something, not sure what though.

Understand it is being used by Network Rail for static training - but no idea what sort of training.
