Any of these 158's actually come back from refurbishment yet?
Maybe they are going up there to nick the 156 there! Sneak it out under cover of darkness

Help yourself, as despite flood dammage repair, new bog etc the bluddy things still got orrigional Ashborn seating! No sense in this at all IMO.
I too would like to know about Northerns units, esp interested in how theyve come back

Is the new livery on any trains?
Hope they can sort out the PIS on 150220 at some point, on it now to Blackpool South with the display reading "Colne" and flickering a bit...
They've shortened the Manchester station names so they can fit on the display even though the display scrolls regardless.
Last time I was on that unit it was attached to another 150 so I'm not sure what would have happened if they had the automated announcements programmed in and were using them.
Are they installing toilets in the 150? If so, I really don't see the point since they are working commuter services. In fact, what they really should do is remove the existing toilets, get rid of those awful 3+2 seats, and add extra grab poles for extra standing capacity.

There are many people, myself included, with conditions such as IBS who would disagree with you very strongly.
It was working with another today, does being coupled to a non-fitted unit cause the system to trip out?

Thats anoying, I as a visually impaired person welcomed the auto announcements on Northern and am a tad angry youve been told not to use them. IMO it wasnt too loud, just a bit wordy!
One or two pics off the Shed. Not brilliant though..[/ATTACH]

So I'm guessing this is the new base colour scheme minus any final branding vinyls?
Oh dear, a drab facsimile of the old Wales & Borders colour scheme, which looked shockingly unappealing after a few years of limited attention.
Although of course the greater concern is what has been done to improve the interior.
Exactly what I was thinking. Hopefully there will be some attractive vinyl application - I know the CAF Civity CGIs seem to feature a fair bit of blue.
Hopefully the interior has had the panelling resprayed, seats revamped, new roof lighting style fitted (similar to the ATW 158s), and proper PIS installed.
