Pictures of 156496 on FB at Eastleigh complete ready to return to Heaton.
This stock move has been cancelled. At eastleigh. Hasant run. However another run took place this morning to wolverton carriage sidings from eastleigh Arlington. Wondering anyone else on this forum can confirm iff 156496 has now ended up at wolverton instead. Or is this something else.

Interesting they keep booking paths on the system but often most do not seem to run.
Of todays 5 moves too from works only the Crewe NH ran :-

A number of booked moves again today Sun only. If yesterday is the norm most will not run.
Heaton - Crewe CS edit Cancelled
Heaton - Holbeck 11.30 edit running 156 438
Newton Heath- Crewe CS 12.21 edit running 150 ???
Heaton - Belmont yard 12.41 edit running 322 483, 322 485

See if any actually run.
And. Some classes seem to go to Crewe CS and some to Crewe CS LNWR site. What's the difference?

Re 150 134 crewe to NH I thought all Northerns PRMed units would not empty sewage on the track anymore

Only the Porterbrook Cl150’s, all Cl155’s & Porterbrook Cl156’s received CET tanks whilst undergoing PRM modifications. The Angel Trains Cl150’s are having them fitted at a later point, with the Angel Trains Cl156’s having all had them fitted at a later point as well. It’s mostly ATC Crewe retrofitting them on the Angel Trains units.

Indeed the regulations regarding waste tanks are separate from the regulations covering accessibility. That said, I'd have thought the optimum time to fit said tanks would be at the same time as the accessible toilet modules are being fitted.

Interesting. Is there an end date for CET tank fitting.
Also I suppose the question to ask is how many units Northern have which still discharge sewage onto the track.

I saw 150129 at Blackburn this evening which came back from Crewe last month and is still unrefurbished, but does now have a catch tank. So it appears a lot of the Crewe moves from Newton Heath currently are just for CET tank fitment, apart from the 3 ex-LM units, I still haven't seen any Angel 150's with a full refurbishment since the program was paused last year with 150145 being the last one done I think.
