All bar 032 and 044 have already had the full reliability mods - they're now getting (or due) specific CAF Mk5 Mods - Dellners and other equipment (driver-controlled PA and doors for example).Are those the reliability mods, ETS mods, or both?
Other than 038 (which is set up to test the Mk5s with 1.5kv ETS) the others are retaining classic (850v) ETS for now (even post the other CAF mods) so they can work the old stock. It's not a big job to switch over the ETS, though, and can be done at depot in due course rather than having to go back to Brush.
006/020 are getting the full reliability mods and CAF Mk5 mods as part of their F Exams (aka reinstatement)
032/044 will get overhauls and reliability mods in due course (once the CAF mods are sorted most probably) but currently not planned to get CAF Mods.
Elaborating on Scott's list above, current status:
- Full mods (incl CAF) complete - 014 / 023 / 038
- Reliability mods done, CAF mods in progress (at Brush) - 028 / 033
- Reliability mods done, CAF mods to be done - 010 / 018 / 043
- Major overhaul, reliability mods and CAF mods in progress (at Brush) - 006 / 020
- Overhaul and reliability mods to be done (but not CAF mods) - 032 / 044
- Stored Loughborough Brush - 045 / 046
- Stored Frethun Depot - 021 / 040
