Although not fixed I believe:Am I right in thinking that at the present time:
Refurbishments at Crewe are 150s & 170s
Refurbishments at Kilmarnock are 156s
Refurbishments at Loughborough are 158s
Thanks in advance.
I thought Crewe did the 170sAlthough not fixed I believe:
Wabtec Kilmarnock do 156s:
Wabtec Doncaster do 150 PRMs:
Arriva traincare Crewe to 150 redecoration and 158 whole package.
Brush Loughborough do 170s and possibly 158s not sure here:
Brodies Kilmarnock have no Northern work since the 155s.
Wolverton do 319s 323 perhaps.
My best guess so may not be 100%.

Yes looking back at the earlier 170 moves indeed Crewe do 170s.I thought Crewe did the 170s
Wolverton are doing 323sYes looking back at the earlier 170 moves indeed Crewe do 170s.
Corrected list:
Although not fixed I believe:
Wabtec Kilmarnock do 156s:
Wabtec Doncaster do 150 PRMs:
Arriva traincare Crewe to 150 and 170 redecoration and 158 whole package.
Brush Loughborough although I'm not sure do just 158s:
Brodies Kilmarnock have no Northern work since the 155s.
Wolverton do 319s 323 perhaps.
My best guess so may not be 100%.

Wabtec Kilmarnock do 156s:
Thanks.Kilmarnock did some of the PRMs for the early angel 156s I believe but the porterbrook ones are being done down in Wolverton I believe.
Some 150s are being done at Kilmarnock and I believe 150277 was the one that is meant to return today but its been cancelled.
I wonder if the one that went north earlier to Heaton was 158 870 which was at Arriva traincare Crewe.158871 is currently enroute from Neville Hill to Crewe CS
Yes. I endured one over the S&C on Thursday.Have some of the refurbished 158s been given new ironing board style seats?
Thanks158869 was on 5E17 Crewe to Neville Hill
158871 was on 5N42 Neville Hill to Crewe
158843 was on 5E14 Loughborough to Heaton
They’re rushing them through to get the legally required PRM bits done before the deadline then the rest can be done afterIs there a reason why some 150s at the moment are running round in new livery without transfers on them?
I've spotted 150142 & 150148 and a couple of others like this and appart from the new interior automated announcements and next stop screens no interior refurbishments seems to have been done on them.
Probably coupled up with a PRM-compliant 150, 156 or 158. It's what EMR seem to be doing.With all the attention on withdrawing the pacers I wonder what the future holds for Northerns 20 horrid but useful 153s when all the rest are PRM compliant.
