Makes sense as they'll need two more available for next week
Here is the November update on my blog, which will be updated on a monthly basis. I will include the four 170s which arrived from ScotRail last weekend in this month's update, which I will probably post in a few weeks' time.
If you have any feedback or see any mistakes, please PM me here. I will update the list on here soon.

Quick update on the ex-ScotRail 158s: they are NOT PRM modified. Have seen both 158870/871 in the last few days and neither have been modified yet. I don’t believe the other six have been modified in Scotland, either.

So did 4 170s come down on Sunday 2 to NL ( 170454 and 170455) and 2 to Heaton (456, 457)? Or was the path Haymarket to Heaton for 156s as suggested above. Confused.

No 156s have transferred to Northern yet.
Thanks for that.

156449 and 156485 were both seen at Glasgow Queen Street with all ScotRail branding removed yesterday so presumably those two units are transferring to Northern imminently? Like the ex-ScotRail 158s, the 156s also still need the PRM mods.

The Sunday path was only to Heaton. Are 456 and 457 still there.
All of the 5 that are going to Northern have been debranded for a few weeks now, aswell as wifi removed.
That’s the weekly trip from refurbishment of Northern’s own 156 units.
There is a move from Haymarket to Glasgow Works in Sunday, so not sure if this is any of the 156 units going for repaint before going to Northern
Can't see mention of its return so 156423 currently on 2338 Liverpool to Manchester very shiny in the new livery.
Also a 2 car 158 arrived at Crewe yesterday. Saw it from a distance so no ID but it had already been PRM mods as could see the destination it wears a local vinyl on the light purple section and has a name.

I travel on the Lincoln-Sheffield once a week to study at uni part time and have noticed that some two 158's have a passenger information system and the new hustle alarms. I've also been on 158845 (which is very nice!). I'm trying to get my head around Northern's refurbishment works. From what I gather, they are being sent for PRM work first and are being sent separately to have a full refurbishment. This would explain why I've been on a few Class 158's that have screens etc. but aren't refurbished.
I've also seen that the eight three car Class 158's are listed as fully refurbished and PRM compliant. However, they seem to have retained the original seats but have new seat covers and have gained a colour screen for the PIS instead of the usual LED version.
Do they intend to send them back for further refurbishment work at a later date?

Any updates on 333001?
Two of the eight extra 158s are with Northern, 158870 and 158871.
It's still at Holbeck.
It's staying in Scotland to be refurbished for Northern before transferring.
Be interesting to see what Northern do with it then, considering it's interior is much older than on the other Northern 156s and Scotrail did a complete internal refit on the 156s they are keeping.

Do these have the original seating still?
They have Ashbourne seating like the Northern 150s which didn't get the FNW refurbishments, but in 2+2 formation and with armrests and tables: http://www.scot-rail.co.uk/photo/scaled/511.jpg
