Crewe - NH RT
Wolverton - NH RT

I'd seen the STP for Wolverton Friday and wondered if todays VSTP has replaced it?

I really hope that at some point they fit lighting diffusers to the 150s and 156s. It's probably the best cheap improvement that could be made to them. As it is, the lights are far too bright in my opinion.

I was just getting my information from Gemini but could well be wrong. Maybe that's why everything is going backwards and forwards all the time haha

I’ve been on my first trains, possibly since Feb, and one of them was a refurbished 3 car 158 with original seats with new cushions and new style moquette covers. Was it not the case that the 158s were all getting new seats, or is that now not the case?

This was on the Leeds to Wigan Wallgate service by the way

All of the 158s, with the exemption of the 3-car units will receive new Fainsa seats. You mention the moquette - Was it the single tone or dual tone spotted fade moquette?

It was the two tone spotty fade as per the covers used on the 333s

3 cars going for refurb are now keeping the original seats but having them refurbished (new cushions, new current version of the moquette)
