This was more than likely 150109 as this was operating on the Hull-Scarborough route on the 27/6 and 28/6. The other two Northern have in ex London Midland livery 150105 & 150107.

Last Saturday 2 x UID class 158’s did Crewe C.S. - Neville Hill both were in the white northern livery and both were 2 car sets but was snowballed so didn’t get numbers

And a hour or so later 2 x 158’s worked Neville Hill - Crewe C.S. to be done up these were ex scotrail 158868 and 158908

This last Tuesday, 2nd of July, the 08.22 from Scarborough to Hull was formed of 158902, refurbished. I saw it at Beverley station, and it was full. However, the Hull to Scarborough service, excepting the Bridlington, Hull and Sheffield class 170’s is more than usually 158’s not refurbished, 155’s or 150’s at the moment.

Best regards,

Rob.

Think the two from Crewe were 158867/905.

Cheers Simon appreciate it pal i haven’t seen 905 for a while so that might tally , off top of my head I don’t think 867 has caught my attention for sometime either so you could very well be correct on both counts

Re dmus still needing PRM mods did a rough count and get
27 150s, 15 156s, 16 158s total 58 to do. Less than 6 months to go that's about 10 a month. Hmm

I don't think they will get them all done on time hence I think Northern are trying to get all the 150/1 done ASAP due to the lack of corridor connections.. At least the others can be coupled to complient stock in the short term.

Of course we got the 323 situation to address and whatever the future lies for those units.

The first 323 should go for refurb next month and i think more units will be sent for refurb depending on the 195s and 331s entering service.

They do not all have to be completed by 31/12/19 - they could stop the last sets on 31/12 and have a fully compliant fleet, with the last ones returning to traffic in early 2020 after modification.

150001 & 002 are supposed to be transferring to us also next spring along with the 3 150/2 already quoted previously.

Now that Northern has all 150/1s and soon these 150/0s, Northern will still have one of the oldest fleets on average. More encouragingly, it does seem that easily half of Northern stock has now been refurbished.

Also 319373 isn't PRM modded so that needs to be done, although one 319 is almost guaranteed to be modded within the span of 5 months.
