I've been told that anecdotally (as reported elsewhere) so I think it's safe to say that's the plan.



TfW will be getting 150s and 153s next year (which presumably will be refurbished from day 1), I'm also sure that one 150 is off for PRM mods at the moment.

Last I heard was 769s would be arriving next April (12 months later than planned) so it's probably safer just to mention refurbished trains in general than specify a type.

I’ve read about the extra 153s but not 150s,any idea on number of extra 150s and where from?

Mentions new stations at London square and Cardiff bay......first time I’ve seen no mention of flourish! Does that mean they’ve decided to go with bay instead of flourish?
Also note it’s says additional capacity on valley lines with refurbished trains in 2019-previously 769 were specifically mentioned rather than general refurbished trains!
Difference in working could mean nothing....but still interesting

Loudoun, not London!

My West Midlands Trains list was quite successful so might do one for this too haha.

175103 - Transport For Wales
175107 - Transport For Wales
Everything else - Arriva
;)

Will get a proper and detailed list out ASAP, with plans to update regularly. Some don’t like the whole list thing I know but it’s been quite successful for the WMThread.

I saw the 175 at Newport yesterday and I have to say that I do like the new livery! The dirt was already showing under the carriage windows though. I think they’ll need an exterior clean more often. The new ATW livery was good at hiding that :lol:

107 ran the 1739 from Cardiff Central and was already stinking dirty.

White NOT a great idea.

2030 Machynlleth service on 16/10/18 at Aberystwyth station formed of 158-832, just before depature, I noticed that in the co-driver's side of the driving cab there was another member of staff... he had some thick display screen in there with buttons to the side of it, and when the driver got out to turn on the Llanbadarn Fawr level crossing barriers, I asked him what was going on in there and he said "nothing" and then when I asked him if it was "top secret" he said "yeah" - any ideas...?

Might I suggest that gets its own thread? It's very likely to get buried here.

Just to be clear, is the new livery 175 that isn't 107, 003 or 103...?

The second new livery 175 is definitely 003, not 103. I've just watched a YouTube video confirming that. Your list should say 175107 and 175003. In case you don't know, 175001-011 are the 2-car units and 175101-116 are the 3-car units (27 total Class 175 DMUs).
