I said ex-ATW, which is correct! I'm sure that they do count, because I was breaking them all down by where they came from / will come from :)

Exactly :p I hope to capture the ex-GA ones moving in the same way I intended to capture those (from the platforms at Cardiff Central - oops!)

Probably won't happen until 2020 tho lol but i would love to see them with TfW. Are we also having 153s from west Midlands railway and northern in 2020?

...but apparently they'll be moving next week, though we're still waiting to hear about the legitimacy of that claim :p They won't enter service until 2020 though unless they're either PRM modified or the dispensation is granted. I did hear that 4 ex-West Midlands 153s will be moving to TfW, but that was a while ago now. I don't believe that any of Northern's 153s will be moving to TfW.

Wow next week are you sure who said do you have RTT of it? I didn't think west Midlands railway and northerns 153s would arrive. The 153s could enter TfW service in the city line and the cardiff bay to cardiff queen street line like the ex GWR 153s are doing apart from 325 and the TFW 323 because there both upgraded they can do anything

@anthony263 made the claim (post 427) but we're still waiting to hear back about the legitimacy of it :p I don't know of a realtimetrains schedule for the move, but of course like you would love to see one! Again, it's apparently 4 West Midlands 153s additionally transferring at some point, but no Northern ones. Who knows what they'll put them on :lol:

Yeah i would love to see a RTT of it lol. Nice 3 West Midlands railway 153s when ever they get to cardiff. I bet 153325 and 153333 would love to see west Midlands railway 153s because they were with London Midland then but 325 and 333 had to go to GWR so i think they would love to meet up again lol

I suspect these are the 153s from Greater Anglia:-

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/K05606/2019-12-02/detailed

WNXX states this weekend quoting an Internal source. They are probably going to Chrysalis Landore first for work to be done to bring them in line with TFW ones much as the 170s are going to Tyseley. Chrysalis, of course, being the Company who own Long Marston where the 153s normally go.

That would make sense, as this is a cropped screenshot from a piece in December's Modern Railways about TfW's latest revised rolling stock plans

Yes that's stuped. Is it a pacer? They should have put a 150 a bigger 2 car pacers are tiny but then they put 153325 on Pembroke dock to swansea it was packed but fair play the guard said if your going to London get this one but if your going to Cardiff get the one in half an hour

They seem to be coming in 2 batches with another path on Tuesday calling in Tyseley but not staying:-
