Northern have 9 ex-LM 150s at present and are due 18.
LM are due to retain 3 units and 150001 isn't allocated.
FGW apparently have their full allocation.
So there are 12 x 2 car 150s left (after reforming) which means 9 of them are for Northern and 3 to stay at LM.
You're replacing the 172s already!?I think they're great and a worthy replacement for the 172.

If it was 4 cars long chances are it was 113 and 116 coupled together on a VIC - BPN run, they suit the route really well...
The're horrible inside though, drowning in brown, first time on one this evening.
You've done some bad maths there
132 would have been the 11th ex LM unit delivered to Northern.
103 would be the 12th
LM are due to keep 3 units (105,107,109)
FGW are due 2 more (124, 125)
150116 and 150117.If got the following as going to Northern from this thread and another thread on a different forum: 150110, 150111, 150113, 150114, 150204, 150210, 150214, 150226, 150132 and you're saying 150103 has gone as well, which gives 10 so if there's 12 there must be another 2. Which other 2 units have been transferred to Northern?
Brown? I don't remember much brown. Cream maybe on the panelling but I wouldn't say there's an excess of it though, there is some brown in the vestibules but not a lot.

I liked the old CT interior maybe you're too used to northern interiors.Looked brown to me, as did all the crud where Northern have removed signs, and round the edges of the cylume mounting, and the massive hole in the bulkhead between the seat and door D1 on 150113 DMTL...

Out of interest. Anyone know what the three 2 car 150's that are staying with LM will be used for.
2 for Marston Vale and 1 for Nuneaton-Coventry, or am I just guessing?
Only if the Mancunian passengers can hold their bladders, so no late Friday/Saturday night trips then.Can we have the orphan cars with Northern please...?
Indeed, with 57209/12 currently at Eastleigh, hopefully for the fitting of a toilet to one of those carriages. It's an absolute waste having a completely serviceable Sprinter out of service when there is such a major stock shortage, though I wonder if those two vehicles will become guinea pigs for all the fully DDA compliant features that will have to be fitted to any Sprinters remaining in service after 2019.Isn't there 150 001, 150 002 and the two orphaned toilet-less cars still up for grabs?
Do you also think the seats are more comfortable than some of the Northern Rail seats? Or maybe it's just a novelty factor
You kind of sink into the seat like a comfortable mattressIf they're the same ones there are in 150268-277 then they're very comfortable.
