Desiro Update:
.
444s:
444018 (unit 45) was released from Eastleigh 11-11-19... that concludes the overdue 444 interior refurbishment work.
.
450s:
450563 (unit 101) in 31-10-19, out 11-11-19
450553 (unit 102) in 2-11-19, out 9-11-19 (overtaking unit 101)
450562 (unit 103) in 9-11-19, out 13-11-19
450561 (unit 104) in 11-11-19, on hand
450557 (unit 105) in 13-11-19, on hand
.
These former HC units are regaining their original identities on completion. Out of those done, I have only seen 450553 and that is now numbered 450053.
450543 which was refurbished during 6-19, became 450043 at Northam a few days ago.
At the current rate of progress the last unit is expected to go to Eastleigh on the 9th December.
.
The next 444 for painting at Bournemouth is 444015 which went there 13-11-19.
.
Hope that helps.
