The thing from that picture that gets my attention is they seem to be re-juicing Eastleigh Arriva depot.

It could only be SWR that nearly two years into its franchise doesn't have a train in its own livery to apply the rainbow to so has use the previous operator's livery.

Thanks for the update. Based on this progress I'd say completion comfortably by the end of the year.

Thanks for the much awaited Desiro update!
Thanks for this. I'm sure 159011 still has an SWT interior.
Yeah your right, well spotted!

Works way better than i think it would with the SWR livery just because of the way the livery is done

On the SWR livery I would envisage it being applied as diagonal stripes on the dark blue area.

No idea - could be Barton Hill, could be Loughborough, could be wherever SWR selects to carry out the refurbishment work. We won't know until the first unit goes.
Some Desiro activity to record today for those interested;
.
444032 (unit 31) departed from Eastleigh this morning along with 450072 (unit 71) and returned to Northam.
444001 (unit 32) made its way to Eastleigh around lunchtime.
.
The next 450 (unit 73) 450098, went to Eastleigh a few hours ago.

Quick question
What are the chances of catching a refurbished 159 from Southampton Central to St Denys?
How many in terms of % of the 159s are done?

Southampton to St Denny's is only operated by a 158 unit as of which haven't had their interiors.
However 158 (887, 888, 890) have the SWR striped livery.
Most 159/0's have the partially refreshed interior as part of the C6 Overhaul. Which operate on the west of England line.
A big diesel internal refurbishment will start next year!
Hope this helps!

I understand first class is to be reduced with new seats but standard seats will remain?
Will those in SWT livery be repainted
For a fleet that used to have a standardised image they are currently a mess although I like the finalised SWR livery on them. Probably because the roof isn't white like a 442
The first version of the SWR units looks awfuk sl hopefully these will be redone
Wow a much quicker 444 turnaround. Thanks for the update as always!

Modern Railways back in January reported that everything will end up in the final version of SWR livery.

The Southampton Central - Portsmouth & Southsea SWR services are worked by 450s, which call at St Denys. This might explain why you sometimes see 450s at St Denys.Thanks, Guess i will just have to hope for a refurbished 450 as i have notice they sometimes stop at St Denys too

Thank you for the update. The 450 turnarounds seem to be very quick now!
I doubt theirs much difference because they both go through the same process. I wonder if all the carpet and upholstery is totally replaced on a semi-referb.

I think if a semi-refurbished 450 is being fully refurbished, the upholstery and carpets are not replaced. The non refurbished 450s need more work done (new seat covers and carpets).
