I guess the Tyseley people will take the GA branding offCan confirm it was 170203 that was transferred to Tyseley. Just saw it at Small Heath still in full GA livery

thanks for that I take it that's some internal system you're using...?
On 22/11/19 TfW unveiled its Class 170 trains, which from December will add much needed capacity. They'll improve the customer experience, and they're more comfortable. They have plug sockets, passenger information screens and accessible toilets.
I’m guessing they’ll enter service unrefurbished? The interiors more or less look the same and livery wise they just need to add the red stripe on the roof/cabs
The biggest question is are/will there be enough crews trained on them for timetable change?
that's not how it works. it will actually be having rectification work done at Tyseley works, so two more of the 170/2s that are already at Tyseley will be moving to Cardiff Canton depot (post 453).I believe it should be 203 arriving at Canton tomorrow. It worked the 5H66 0706 Norwich Station Carriage Servicing Depot to Tyseley Traction Maintenance Depot yesterday.

thanks for that the schedule is https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O63027/2019-11-27/detailed right...?205 should be on the move tomorrow.
initially, but the plan is to eventually get them to full TfW spec (like the refurbished 175s) inside and out, as they'll be staying long term.I’m guessing they’ll enter service unrefurbished?

I saw a three-car 170 in GA colours heading south on the Worcestershire/Gloucestershire border around 15:50 but it was too dark to get the number.does anyone know which 170s are on their way to Cardiff right now...? also if anyone reading this is going to be at Central for them going through around 1730, would you be willing to capture them (videos or photos) for (or allow use on) RWL2012 YouTube...? (I'm elsewhere with family today)
thanks anyway just the one unit...?I saw a three-car 170 in GA colours heading south on the Worcestershire/Gloucestershire border around 15:50 but it was too dark to get the number.

Did 170205 leave Norwich as expected today? Leaving only 170271 in the Greater Anglia region.
