If I remember rightly, all of the 158s will be "Connect" standard, but the seat reservation system will only be fitted to Heaton's allocation.
Many thanks, Chris.
I wondered that. I guess the 158s that just have the new livery and PRM mods will be done last so the others can take priority

How long has it been up there.
I notice there's a path NL to Kilmarnock today Sun possibly for a another 155 for rebuild.

Thought 343 was the last one?

344 should be the last 155 to do.

no 344's the last one, does anyone know when it's leaving? I imagine it'll be within the next few days

155 344 is the last to do but think I the first one was only partially done. Think it was 155 346.

Seen pics of former scotrail 158782 in Crewe workshops for refurbishment in the sprinter group on Facebook.

Anyone know if the 323s are getting refurbished/going for C6 exam? There were 4 of them at Longsight today on the way home today with one outside Alstom wheel lathe. The 195/331s coupler issues mean they will probably be well used for months, potentially to the end of the year.
May is the current quoted date for the first 323.

Does anyone know when 333 011 will be out?
Looking like it's heading back to Neville Hill this Saturday.
Also I'm surprised it's getting dragged back on saturday.
I would have thought it would be coming back later than that

Thats pretty quick. Seem to be getting there act together. I wonder which unit will be next to goto Holbeck.

I hope 333012 since theres a nice crusty deposit on one of the seats in one of the driving carriages that northern have never bothered to clean up (not been on recently I just know from @Whattraintoday)

The northern 323s will start going for PRM mods in may.
Are you on about the 333s?
If they do go for PRM mods, will they count as part of the 243 units or will they be in addition to the 243 that are getting refurbished?

Probably an addition;
today's sprinter movements for PRM work.

Thanks, thats what i'm thinking too. I also guess this '323s being in addition to the current 243 units being refurbished thing' will also depend on if any 319s go. excluding the 3 units in the thameslink livery (319372, 319373 and 319446).
