Thanks. That's a shame, I've always preferred the 156s to 150s. Ah well.Newton Heath are losing some of their 156’s (there will just be 16 officially based there) with 13 working diagrams. So some will be transferring to Heaton.

Kilmarnock dont seem to have a lot of success with sending trains south. Diddnt it take several attempts with the last one.Cancelled at Kirkconnel. Train declared a failure.

150 269 Wabteck Kilmarnock to NH Sat 30th Nov shown on RTT as only reaching Carlisle.
Looks likely.could be 268 going up as it's the last of the porterbrook 150/2s to be done;

My understanding is that some of Northern's 150s will be reformed into three car sets by adding a single car from a 150/2. Not sure how many or indeed if this is still planned.
I suppose is raises again the question of whats happening with 2 car 150 209 running around without toilets. Split it to form 2 x 3 cars was always the thought.Most recent plans where to form just two three car 150s in this way (which would be joined by the two three car 150/0s from GWR). More recent whispers suggest even this may not now happen.
150105 has had PRM mods and also new seat covers but very little else done

Yes still in LM with the big white patch over the name. Still paired with a 156 on vice EMU diagram on the Hazel Grove to Blackpools.Including not having been repainted from London Midland livery - it plus a 156 were on the 21:00 Piccadilly to Crewe on Saturday night
It smells nice and new but an awful clash of colours and filth. Shame as when they arrived they were ok.That doesn't look very inviting. What a dirty looking environment. The new covers aren't even properly covered. Is it moquette? I can't tell. 'Could do better. See me!' x
the 156 stock are replacing the heaton allocation of 142's as from the december timetable change there will be no more 142's in the north east areaThanks. That's a shame, I've always preferred the 156s to 150s. Ah well.
Yeah, I get that. However, for those in the Manchester area who have had those said 156s previously, reality will now be 150s, or worse.the 156 stock are replacing the heaton allocation of 142's as from the december timetable change there will be no more 142's in the north east area
As it's been at Wabtech Doncaster its presumably just had PRM mods and repaint and is awaiting its trip to Arriva traincare at Crewe for interior refresh.150225 is back out and about

Are northern going to get them done by the end of the year or will they get an extension.As it's been at Wabtech Doncaster its presumably just had PRM mods and repaint and is awaiting its trip to Arriva traincare at Crewe for interior refresh.
I have now just 4 150/1's and 10 150/2's to PRM with 6 in various works.
