Trialling for the new, uprated headlights or the full interior refurbishment, perhaps?
Could it be going for bodyside camera fitting? I believe that was one of the plans with the refurbishment?

350, 1st class, 0730 last week. Talking of blood...I'm only guessing, but I'd say they are out of replacement blue covers. Don't know why they were so keen to replace them, though, given the state of some of the other bases they never bothered. Did anyone bleed to death on that unit? Particularly bad vomit on a last train?
Was 350/104 a recent corrosion repair or was that a while ago??350104 on the Wolverhampton-Euston service this morning
It was no. 3 out of 30 on the list. So, not really recent, but not a while ago either.Was 350/104 a recent corrosion repair or was that a while ago??
Shame we still gotta wait while their are 3 350 units ready to returnIt was no. 3 out of 30 on the list. So, not really recent, but not a while ago either.
Yes did seem odd why its showing WMR!!Anyone spot the "deliberate mistake" on the PIS screen?
Great, that colour scheme looks very nice.Not sure which unit but been sent a picture of a refurb 350 in service earlier at Crewe.
No full LNR livery as presumed which is disappointing also no new stickers either. The panels by the doors are also still bright blue which looks ugly against the new refurb
The most disappointing (cheap) feature by far is the removal of the Guards office not resulting in any additional seats. They’ve just plonked a luggage rack in instead.
To be quite honest that will free up more than 4 Seats and save all sorts of argumentsThe most disappointing (cheap) feature by far is the removal of the Guards office not resulting in any additional seats. They’ve just plonked a luggage rack in instead.
Any pics or footage? or links?The most disappointing (cheap) feature by far is the removal of the Guards office not resulting in any additional seats. They’ve just plonked a luggage rack in instead.
It’s only good for the 1/8th of people who might board at that door. Agree more room for luggage is needed, but it needs proper provision throughout the train rather than what has been provided. Like the Voyager ex shop, great for about 10 people and really a poor use of space overall.That seems a good idea, not a bad idea. There is inadequate luggage space on the longer runs, and the 350/1s will mostly be used on the Crewes once the Aventras show up.
Have heard that apparently 350115 the refurbished set is now fitted with a system where the PIS displays coach numbers for each coach on internal PIS screens. Such as 'coach 1 of 8' 'coach 2 of 8' etc, and apparently if a station has a short platform, the system will instruct passengers in the rear coaches to move forwards through the train , a la South Western Railway 444s.
No way of verifying but apparently auto SDO is not fitted. Existing setup but announcements and displays will show where passengers are within the train.Have they fitted ASDO, or is this just an add-on to the existing UDS setup?
As long as the current PIS system continues to work alongside the new one. Then its all goodHave heard that apparently 350115 the refurbished set is now fitted with a system where the PIS displays coach numbers for each coach on internal PIS screens.

No, the only announcement on a non-refurb set would be when the guard activates the unit de select switch there will be an announcement in the rear 4 coaches to 'move forward from this part of the train'The non-refurbished sets have had this for a while, haven't they?
