Northern Unit Refurbishments

[chrissawer]

I thought I'd do a list of units similar to that in the GWR thread to keep track of what's been refurbished.

Nice list, thanks. If you're interested there are a couple of partially refurbished units in service.

150220 has had the DDA modifications with a large disabled toilet, scrolling LED PIS, new door buttons and loud hustle alarm.

158906 has had wi-fi, USB charging and an elaborate PIS with screens at the end of the carriage as well as a scrolling LED display. See: http://www.rail-order.co.uk/158icasestudy

Glad you like the list Chris. Thanks for those updates, I've added them to the list.

No problem.

Are all 158s being done to the standard of 906 or is that just some sort of trial scheme?

906 hasn't been refurbished or even refreshed as such, just WiFi, digital PIS and sockets fitted. I think it was a WYPTE scheme, possibly in cahoots with the old Serco/Abellio franchise rather than Arriva Rail North.

It was a demonstrator under the old franchise, and I think only one car as well.

The last update on any of the DMU's that have gone away for refurb was last month the above post only confirms this, as we are now 17 days into October does anybody know if any units have entered traffic yet? or if any more have returned? or if any more have been sent for refurb?

 

[superkev]

All seems very slow. I wonder if there's some problems.

The first few units of each class will take longer. In particular the 155, as this is the first time either they or their sister units have had significant work done.

I travelled a lot on Northern last week and was surprised that a fair few of the 150/1s have a wheelchair accessible toilet, and the toilet modules didn't look especially new either! All the ones on GWR just have the standard small cubicle with manually operated door and lock.

Those will be the ones refurbished by NWT/FNW. The larger toilet in those units is NOT compliant for 2020. These units also have the original door buttons as built, so these will need replacement too.

This month's today's railways lists a number of a gel trains 156's has having received des toilets at springburn including northern 156 443, 444, 448, 451, 454, 463, 471, 472, 475, 480, 482 listed.

Well yes but at this rate you will be lucky to get all the trains refurbished before the end of the franchise! Maybe that's the plan he said cynically.

You would hope that Arriva would be keen to have a press event fairly soon with a refurbished unit and maybe a mock up of a CAF unit.

Not sure if this is just the toilet s, dda mods or the full redecoration.

Where are the 319s been refurbished?

 

[Shunter_69]

321901 is currently at Bombardier Ilford. Is this also getting a refresh or modifications?

158752 is reported back in service today, on services around Bradford, Leeds, York and Hebden Bridge, and 'stretching her legs' to Blackpool later in the day.

158752 is reported back in service today, on services around Bradford, Leeds, York and Hebden Bridge, and 'stretching her legs' to Blackpool later in the day.

If anyone has a reporting number for it, it could be quite easily tracked through the day. Would be great to snap a picture of it!
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Also, 156 487 has gone up to Glasgow Works from Heaton yesterday as 5S00. Not Kilmarnock where the rest have so far been to. Do Glasgow works specialise in 156's? Either way, it should be interesting to see what comes of this; a full refurb including livery or just maintence to the unit.

From what I hear it didn't last long, looks like it might have failed at Leeds on 1B19 1155 Blackburn-York. It's next working, 1B26 1427 York-Blackpool North was started from Leeds at 1508, but I don't know what unit took it.

Porterbrook owned units have gone to Kilmarnock 158, 150/2 and 155.
Angel owned unit has gone to Glasgow Works 156 487.

Probably the different lease companies are sending their trains to different works? we will only know when more units are sent.

That's probably the most reasonable explanation. As you say, we'll only know more as time goes on.

Newly refurbished 158752 worked the 11:55am from Blackburn to York but failed on arrival at Leeds and is currently sat on Neville Hill depot

It looks like (from RTT) that another unit came the other way (back to Heaton) earlier in the day, so it could well be that Glasgow are just fitting the PIS and doing other DDA mods?

I think Springburn are now doing DDA stuff to Northerns 156s

Thought the 321/2 were made compliant during their refurb a couple of years ago?

They were. 321901 is down south because they are doing something with the wheels.
