Yes but not updated as often presumably now most of the PRM mods are done and most of the new trains out and about.

Seems to have gone quiet on this thread.
I dont seem to be able to access 507021s blog with the Northern refurb status and fleet details. Looks like it may have become invite only for some reason.

I'm getting that to, must be either updating the blog or pressed a wrong button or he has to invite you to look at the blog.

me three, so it must be that he's either shut it down, he's still updating it, he's taken it private, or something happened on Blogger's (the site which hosts his blog) end

If he's updating he normally puts a link on when he's finished updating the blog.

that's true, I can either see it that he shut it down, he took it private and we need to ask him for an invite or it's on blogger's end

I know right, I hope he hasn't shut it down for good. The last time he was active on this site was in december 2019 but I'll ask him tomorrow about his blog

Thanks. It will be interesting to see if it's been done to the enhanced Connect spec like the previous 2 Heaton units 158 845 and 849 with new Tables, seat res and different screens.
Edit one going the other way HT to Bristol Barton hill https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/98892/2020-03-06/detailed.

I've just travelled on a recently refurbished 150, seats very clean and smart, but the handrails! This one the worst, but not the only one losing it's yellow coating.

Well volunteered!

simon7929 · 6 Mar 2020

They've turned 848 around pretty quick. Surprised it's back so quickly.

simon7929 · 6 Mar 2020

Although it did have the PIS/Compliant toilet fitted. So new seats and carpets plus interior/exterior painting required.

Number 156468 has had new seat covers. Dirty carpet still fitted. Plus they must've ran out of cloth towards the end.
