It’s going to Wolverton - It could just as likely be a Dusty Bin going for a bit of work before going to Greater Anglia. AFAIK the only diesel Northern units have sent to Wolverton are 150s so it could be one of the ones based around Yorkshire.
Not quite; the Porterbrook 156s went to Wolverton. Although, if it were a Yorkshire 150, it'd definitely be a /2, as they're the only ones re-allocated from NH to NL.

From London Midland into the most recent Northern livery minus any Arriva branding. As for the interior I am not too sure!

Is it 6 or 7 323s left for refurb, also a shame can't add the WMT 323s that have been done since they're joining in a couple of years.

Ii think 150111 is back in service with just the PRM mods done. 156429 should be back now I believe but not sure on 156425, think it may still be down there aswell as 156426 I believe?

I thought it was 156496 down in Eastleigh? Either way it should still be down there, lots of work is going on with this unit whilst also having an interior refit

150111 is done and has been working out of Victoria for the past week. 156459 has been done for at least a month if not more too. I'd agree with the rest.

I'm guessing the Doncaster to NH is the 150 210 which has been there since 29th Feb. I believe it's the last 150 to have PRM mods.
Also the Crewe to NH could be 150/115 which went to Crewe on 11th Jan and I havent heard of its return. K

I would guess because they are being driven by freight guys so they set up the paths and crew but might be wrong!
