350/115 refurbishment has been shown off by LNR on their facebook as well as fellow customers on twitter

Guards cab removed. Replaced by luggage racks.

Plugs, new seat covers in both first and standard.

Still using old LM stickers but looks great for the most part

Iam gonna blame that on the fact that WMR pattern goes all the way down the chair while LNR has plain grey sections which i think are where the worn areas are

But how come signage isn't replaced in some sort of conjunction with the painting, notable are Milton Keynes and Watford Junction, the last 3 trips through I've noticed painted lamp posts only here ?

Thanks for the update @Chriso - is that both for the signage and running boards?

Thanks for the update @Chiltern006 - does Tring have LNWR running boards & signage, and is it the same at Bletchley? (also, which parts at Bletchley still need doing?)

Because they aren't replacing the physical signs as such; they're only covering the existing ones with new vinyl transfers.
Watford Junction has had new LNWR signs erected on the platform extensions, but only there so far.

The supply chain of said vinyl transfers may contribute to the piecemeal changeover; for Watford Jct & MKC, there are illuminated signs which are much larger and more difficult to replace, so I assume WMT are working on a solution for that.

Bletchley has some on Pl1 and Pl3 but no others, same at LBZ, I can't remeber about Trong, but I think it does have the full LNWR stuff
