Today I was on 158-841 on the 0930 Aberystwyth-Birmingham International (to Shrewsbury), which means that nearly 8 months into TfW Rail operation I finally rode my first train in their livery 
158-839 from Pwllheli joined on at Machynlleth, also now with TfW Wales and Borders logos! Also, I'm returning on the 2150 Shrewsbury-Aberystwyth on 158-824 so I've now seen that it has PRM mods. So, the list on page 9 has been updated

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.If they hadn't, it would've been a tatty revealed ex-London Midland livery after FGW advertising wrap removal "turd"
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

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 heard that 150242 and 150254 have also been PRM modified too. No official confirmation though

They are both shown as PRM'd in the list on Page 9

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?

Correct, just a small booklet explaining the differences.
The 153 PRM programme has started - that's why 153325 is at Long Marston.

They look very smart.
It’s a very simple but effective livery. Many will no doubt think it’s boring.

But gets dirty quite quick. Saw 175003 in Cardiff Central on way into work and it could do with a wash, it looks nice though

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?

Not sure, but it will be interesting to see!
Still 2 car AFAIK.
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.there

107 deffo still a two car. Saw it passing Colwyn Bay about 18:45 heading towards Junction.
The 175's will have the same design as 003 and 107 but I believe they will be painted rather than wrapped.

That unit now has added Wales & Borders logos!
The "1" in the unit number looks rather scratched off; what happened there?

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.

Welshpool "bus shelter" now has "T logos"! Ironically taken from 158-830, which doesn't
Could’ve done some weeding whilst they were at it!

That'll be another team, you see
