Regarding the 156s I understand there's 3 different seating types but the ones I see or board in the Manchester area all have the same seating type. Is this because the ones with the alternative seating types are allocated elsewhere?

Nice one, thank you! Has it been internally "refreshed" yet, or just had the tractor prang damage repaired? What's left there now? 150132 plus 156482 & 156490?

Just repaired after talking to the tractor. 150132 has returned this morning, 150119 next one in this afternoon. The 156's are as you've quoted.

Real time trains still shows just 156415 in East Midlands livery.

As a general rule I'd say don't expect a recently cascaded train to turn up in the livery shown on RTT. I've noticed a few occasions where I train I'm travelling on is showing in East Midlands livery when it's been given Northern colours.

Are all 17 units going to Allerton? Is there going to be enough space at Allerton for 34 323s + 331s, 195s +769s?

Thought some 323s would be moved to International Depot and maintained there.

Replacing the 319s, probably need to get rid of them first before they move north, has 208 made an appearance in service yet?

Don't think 208 has been in service with Northern yet. Last I heard it kept being moved in and out of the shed at Allerton.

Don't forget that some more of the 331/0's will be moving over to Yorkshire at some point. So that should make some space up at Allerton, although probably not a lot.
