Unfortunately the fully referbished ones still retain the SWT driver seat.Do they refurbish the driver seat or do they have to sit on their dating SWT one still?

Yes, 450543 is currently being refurbished at Eastleigh/is done now, so it will be re-numbered 450043. This will apply to all 450/5s being done.I Wonder if the 28 Class 450/5 Desiro units could be renumbered back in 450/0s during the refurbishment?
Still shows as 450543 on the system currently.Yes, 450543 is currently being refurbished at Eastleigh/is done now, so it will be re-numbered 450043. This will apply to all 450/5s being done.
Great! And that means the whole fleet of the 450 Desiros will be returned back to normal in the uniform fleet again.Yes, 450543 is currently being refurbished at Eastleigh/is done now, so it will be re-numbered 450043. This will apply to all 450/5s being done.
And that also means that I'll have to go out and buy the 2019 edition of the ABC Rail Guide. I've been using the 2018 version so far and it will be easier to buy a new one rather than update my old one.Great! And that means the whole fleet of the 450 Desiros will be returned back to normal in the uniform fleet again.
That physical reversion has always been known, it is clearly shown in the 2017 franchise agreement. However it wasn't ever formally stated that they would be re-numbered, although that was a reasonable assumption.Great!

What system? Do you mean internal systems which show booked traction? If so, 450543 is still being done or it just hasn't been renumbered.Still shows as 450543 on the system currently.

Stripes on the DMU livery had been confirmed as discontinued by December. Goldfish62 posted it (quoting Modern Railways) in post #1426 on 25th Dec, probably trying to bury the news!I've noticed that some of the repainted 159s don't have the diagonal stripes; have the stripes been discontinued? As it is, I think they look better without the stripes, but that's just my personal taste.

The next screen has Wi-fi or Web in top right corner- click that and it tends to work fine.Is anyone else having trouble with the Wi-Fi on the refurbished units?
The "new" Wi-Fi directs me to SWR Stream, I click two "Continue" buttons and... nothing.
