Do you think the class 158s may still be in passenger service after the Turbostars, Coradias and Pennines have been withdrawn?
They seem to be more solid mechanically than the 175s and 180s, whilst more fuel efficient and cheaper to run than the 185s, and lighter than both hence able to run at SP speeds. They accelerate quicker than 170s and seem to be a little more popular with the average passenger than any Turbostar is. Can you see them still running around whilst all the subsequent DMU families up to and including the 185s have been withdrawn?
