Just a quick question, does anyone know if anymore 166's are at Wolverton? Haven't seen any recently go out or return for a repaint?
166219 is still at Wolverton, should be 166220 to go next but have not seen anything pencilled in for a move yet.

Look out for another 150/9 sometime. One of the carriages of 150233 (just back from Wolverton) requires a whole new roof, so the good car will form up with either 232 or 247 to maintain livery.

I wonder if that's due to the issues he had the other day. Cab air con circuit board melted and kept making rear cab desk live thus emergency brake applications occurring regularly

Finally! Let's hope this one finally returns!
I've got to ask though, does anyone know why on the recent repaints, the front hand rails have all been removed?

Would I be right in saying 166220 is the last GWR 166 DMU to be repainted in the new GWR livery? 166221 has the new FGW vinyl's similar to that of 166203 and that unit was never put into GWR green.

The last one to go out of Dynamic Lines into GWR Green, in any case. The FGW Blue ones are bound to be done at some point.

Nothing timed on RTT under STP or any timetable for the move of 150001 to Reading T.C. tomorrow... if it is being moved tomorrow it's very late planning.

As has been pointed out several times, you can't rely on everything additional being shown on RTT as soon as it's planned. Depends when the info is fed to it.
I have done a few VSTP ones and they never showed up on any systems, RTT, genius, CC--D etc, so not everything is put through the system.

You have to manually add a run to Gennis as it's not linked to TRUST. RRT has a lag for when new paths.

Also to add, one of the latest trains to receive GWR livery or vinyls (apparently so far) is 800 004.
Is that the first time the 2nd green set has run in service?
Any pics of it in GWR livery?

Anti-surfing measure, I presume. Don't know if that's a big problem for GWR though.
Source/evidence/links?
I have now found a post in the Class 800 thread on this subject made by made by someone else. Could you please do other posters/website/forums etc - and us - the courtesy of linking to their post/crediting them in future?

Seems to be up and running again now - running about 10 minutes late according to Realtimetrains.
Also the new working at height regulations.

Is this the same as the first set internally, just a repaint like the later 166s or the revised interior smilar to the 150s?
