I've just had a look at the aforementioned image and it's impossible to make out the unit numbers, that is if I'm getting the right image (alongside a 37/Mk2 rake and a Pacer). It was taken from a moving train and the window makes things fuzzy.

Edit: Was posted on the 18th saying it was taken the previous Saturday

Saw 175001 and 153325 in person today at Cardiff Central, both looking good :D I still haven't worked out where the CET tank is on "325"; though the drain point for that is underneath the "Transport for Wales" logo but appears strange and much smaller than usual :p

I also noticed a wierd little curved horizontal bar (about 4 inches wide) in the corner of the side of the unit's vehicle body, with the unit and vehicle number typed out in very small text above / below it. Anyone know what that is...?

Seen as I know you like to keep track, I'm not 100% a unit went to Widnes to replace 175001, but if one did, then it's 175105 as that is the only unit that hasn't been allocated any work since I started checking on Sunday. So possibly the first 3 car has gone in.

There was a guy there taking photos; I won't name him in case I got the wrong person, but will keep checking his Flickr in case it was him. The closest thing I know of to photos is my video:

Tried out 153325 this evening - looks like a job well done. Even the normals were discussing the shiny new toilet!

Oh No! Not a massive difference in capacity. Obviously dependent on how many seats were allocated in the first place. Fitted with either 65 or 72 seats. I can't see a toilet taking out 13 seats more like going from 65 to 59 so not too shabby.

I should probably look at 333's plate and see, that would give the "previous number of seats" figure for 325.

Well i know that according to the data panel on the front of 333 has 75 seats. I was supposed to put originally fitted with 65 or 75* seats not 72 :lol:
