Fitters are working hard to rectify the issue tonight.

185 units are supposed to be required for the current timetable.
Today we had 118 ready for service at the start of the day.
110 failed with TrainFX issues. A few others failed with other issues too.
Is that 185 as in the amount of units required? If so I would have thought it would have ben more to run an average timetable

As it was a brief was sent out this morning, and units went into service with no working TrainFX system, so no PA or cab to cab function.
I did however end up working the 319 that refuses to update to anything from the original set of codes given to it in early 2015, so I had a working PA system.....

Just a gentle reminder that this thread is to discuss Northern Unit Refurbishments

We absolutely do welcome people discussing other topics on the forum, but we do ask that separate threads are created to discuss these :)

With the Corona19 are the various works still doing the interior refreshes or have they stepped down to just routine maintenance?

There is a 156 at Eastleigh that work seems to be going on at a steady pace to transform from Scotrail to Northern.

I have a feeling that could be 156485 as that was in a worse state than the other cascaded 156s

It would probably envolve a complete strip out new seats and everything. Plus a missing gangway door? New toilet etc

Reported on the Scotish HST introduction thread that Wabtek Kilmarnock is rumoured to be under threat. With PRM work drawing to a close and new trains entering service perhaps more will follow.

I have been trying to keep my own list of Northern PRM, and interior refurb progress largely from 507021s blog and info from here and elsewhere
It's got a bit behind but below is my take on the class 150 DMUs st⁸ill requiring PRM or the various levels of interior refresh. I do other classes later. Any errors or corrections needed are very welcome.

Class 150/1 s 1 to PRM 24 requiring various levels of refurb.
1. PRM. 150 111 at Doncaster
2. Prm modded awaiting the various levels of refurb
150 101, 104, 105, 106, 107, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 117, 118, 121, 128, 129, 130, 131, 134, 135, 140, 141, 148, 150 of which 105, 115, 128 are at Crewe and 134 is at Wolverton.

Class 150/2 s - 1 in works for PRM and 14 awaiting various levels refurb.
1. At Doncster for PRM and repaint 150 210
2. PRM modded awaiting refurb. 150 201, 203, 205, 206, 209, 210, 215, 218, 224, 225, 226, 275, 276, 277.
150 209 has PRM mods only but no bathroom.

9 down, 8 to go.
How come only the one movement today or is it to do with this coronavirus?
I make it 10 that have gone in: 323226-230/232/234/236/238/239 with 7 having come out: 226/228/229/234/236/238/239.
