Unless I'm mistaken, 153333 is the only unit in TfW livery that is not PRM-compliant. If so, now that 333 is at Long Marston TfW can truefully claim any train in service with TfW livery is compliant.

Off to become a Bogdox then (I.e to receive the large compliant new rob-bog at the large end) as well as refurbishment.
Meanwhile, 67025 seems to be journeying it's way around the network at the moment having made it's way to Eastleigh last week and Wembley yard today.

Bit of a stupid question but what needs modifying on the 67 to make it compatible? Well i believe that MK4's have buckeye couplers? Only time can tell what has been changed.

It's the AAR push-pull systems that need changing - the Mk4 system is, I believe, different to the Mk3 system. In fact, I believe it's the systems on the Mk4 that need changing to AAR more than the 67s, similar to how the Mk3 DVTs were renumbered as 82/3s for 67 operation.

The 67s require traction/brake interlock mods to work with the Mark 4s.

It was indeed the only unit put into TfW livery that didn't also get PRM mods. Still had a mishmash interior of FirstGroup Dynamic Lines seat moquette, London Midland green seat handles, and chrome grab rails by the doors etc but it will come out the same as 153325 and 153323

If anyone could direct me to that photo it’d be much appreciated.

I'm not sure if that matches the description of:
I assumed Jacob Didcote was describing a different picture (as that one's definitely at a depot, not a station).

It's not the best quality photo. Passing at night with little light and most likely a slow shutter. The photographer is unknown

Ah right, thanks. Sounds like a still from the video I’ve seen.

Seems to be hauling some Mk4's

Just watched a video it passing through Reading West with 67008. Was uploaded 5 days ago. But the phot above was taken elsewhere.

Found a better one!
It's a DVT, it won't be hauling anything.

Yeah, it’s a still from this video with 67008 providing the power.
