What do power points have to do with GWR livery?
Maybe the question of power points (raised initially by myself) relates to the livery side of things in that the units that have received a full GWR revised interior (an internal livery, perhaps?) have tended to receive power point mods too.What do power points have to do with GWR livery?
Can confirm there are NO power points in 954 (checked unit earlier this evening)Only 158766, 158953 and 158961 have them. Possibly 954?

166211 + 166221 on 5U48 0720 Reading Depot - St Philips Marsh today. Another spin of the merry-go round today?
That seems to leave (at my count) only 2 166s left without RHM - 166201 & 166221.Yep,
166211 returns to SPM for use by the West.
166221 is for C4 work.
166217 (now RHM) to make the return trip to Reading.

I suppose at some point soon all the 166s will be sent to SPM for use by the west??Correct, although 221 will have the RHM done as part of the C4 work.

It looks like 165137 returned from Long Marston yesterday and is in service minus GWR branding today, there have not been many like that for a while. Does anyone know what was on opposite move to Long Marston yesterday to have the seat reduction - I would think one of 165122,127,134 a likely candidate. Thank You.
Thank you for the update. I see RHM 166221 is already active on the North Downs today, whereas 166217 seems to have become rooted to the spot on Reading Depot since returning from its C4/RHM.
C4 overhaul is basically below frame: bogies, couplers and other safety critical kit.I can't remember how much work each C exam covers, but I hope some attention is paid to 201s air conditioning system while it's down there - It appears to have been broken for most of the summer and has gained an odd smell in the end with the FC compartment in it!
what service was that on please?Just went on 166211. The tables in one of the first class sections have been removed:

Which must mean all the LTV 166 are now RHM - 201, 203, 217 & 221.
That’s going to be fun finding diagrams for those
Thank you for all of that information, its quite a shuffle! So the last turbo to become green has now emerged from Wolverton.
