153-333 and 158-830 together at Cardiff Central on the 1434 Ebbw Vale Town on the 8/6/19!
If they hadn't, it would've been a tatty revealed ex-London Midland livery after FGW advertising wrap removal "turd" same applies to 325 which went away to have some work done last time I heard. 333 still has LM green seat handles (and I'm guessing FGW blue seat upholstery) but TfW livery It's also the first TfW liveried unit without PRM mods.They've polished that turd quite well haven't they!

I don't know but I doubt it. It still has the green seat handles. And yes the 153 PRM mods should really be started...Have they done the interior too? They've not got long to do the PRM mods on it if they're keeping them post-31/12/19
Have heard that 150242 and 150254 have also been PRM modified too. No official confirmation though
I worked 242 today and can confirm it's been PRM'd. First time I've ever worked one.
Would I be right to assume that train crew don't need any additional training before working PRM'd stock?
The 153 PRM programme has started - that's why 153325 is at Long Marston.I don't know but I doubt it. It still has the green seat handles. And yes the 153 PRM mods should really be started...
aha! Many thanks for that info!!!The 153 PRM programme has started - that's why 153325 is at Long Marston.
It’s a very simple but effective livery. Many will no doubt think it’s boring.They look very smart.
That unit now has added Wales & Borders logos! Seen at CarmarthenBut gets dirty quite quick. Saw 175003 in Cardiff Central on way into work and it could do with a wash, it looks nice though
Not sure, but it will be interesting to see!Does '107 have the centre coach back in again now?
Also I think 175002 should be out soon having had the interior refurb, question is will it also be sporting the new livery and any different to '003 and '107?

If that's the one at Widnes itll.almost certainly have a new livery. Unless the light was playing tricks a heavily rubbed down 175 coach was visible the other day in the Alstom depot.thereDoes '107 have the centre coach back in again now?

Not sure, but the unit and carriage numbers in general seem to not last that long before they have to reapply them. Since Transport for Wales took over from Arriva Trains Wales I've noticed a mishmash of different fonts of unit and carriage numbers on a given ex-ATW liveried unit. There are now 3 fonts going around - the widest ATW one, the narrowest First North Western one still on a few 175s, and the "inbetween width" TfW one.The "1" in the unit number looks rather scratched off; what happened there?
Could’ve done some weeding whilst they were at it!
Welshpool "bus shelter" now has "T logos"! Ironically taken from 158-830, which doesn't
That'll be another team, you seeCould’ve done some weeding whilst they were at it!
