Mojo said:I saw a First Scotrail-liveried 158 at Bristol St. Phillip's Marsh this morning.
Does anyone know why it's here & what number it is?
theblackwatch said:It is 158741 - it moved down from Haymarket yesterday and is expected to be used in the First 'launch' tomorrow. The unit chosen is one that has been reliveried in the past few weeks - I presume they will remove the 'ScotRail' branding!!
First ScotRail said:this unit is on a short-term hire however this may change and 158 740 may also join 158741 down in FGW land
laverack222 said:What will Scotrail put out instead of these then? Do they have loads of spare units kicking around?
spm_43030 said:Whats its interior like compared to Wessex/Central units
did the fSR refurb consist of an interior job aswell as just a re-paint into Barbie, or where the units o/hauled by National Express, so First hasnt touched them inside......?
