The ScotRail units acquired by Northern are in an unrefurbished state and don't have the standard PIS system or a disabled accessible toilet. The internal condition of these units is shocking. I would be very suprised if they come back from Eastleigh with just the mods completed and no internal refurb.

Been quiet on this thread for a while and I've lost track as to the latest PRM modded and in works units. However theres a few paths on Sat only too and from works so things may be getting going again.

Interesting to see how 209 comes back. If it does come back with a toilet then that’s more than likely the 3 car formations ditched.

I also have 158 903 (went 20nov) 906 (went 28dec), 910 (went 14dec) at Crewe as well as 907 at Bristol so perhaps 903 returning perhaps.

158903 returned to Neville Hill on 08/01/2020. 906 and 910 are still shown at Crewe.

Thanks.
122 was in Gw livery not sure how it will return.
209 was the mismatched units without a toilet.
I had 117 and 120 as previously done so prob warranty or outstanding work.
The Crewe to NL didn't run prob because the earlier HT to Crewe was cancelled.

anyone know what's left, even @507021 has gone quiet with his blog.
Yes I miss 507021s blog.
Not many left to PRM but over a hundred units need to return to works to complete the various stages of interior refresh so plenty to keep us interested.

With the exception of 906, every working 158 has PRM mods (according to @507021s blog)
The 170 refurbishments are complete
The 333s should be finished by april (there are 2 more units to go besides 006 which went in last weekend)
12 156s are left to PRM/refurbish
155346 still needs refurbishing (if it has been refurbished please let me know because im going off @507021s list)
12 class 150s need PRM modding and refurbishing*
And according to the blog only 3 class 323s have been done and I have no idea when they will be done by

(*I am only including the 150s that haven't been for their PRM mods yet as I can't be bothered to count the ones that need refurbishing)

155346 was PRM-ed and refurbished very early on, before the final seating moquette and other details were finalized. So it, and some of the 3 car 158s have a dark blue, lightly spotted moquette, as well as some other non-standard features.
Strictly speaking they had a refurbishment, but to a now non-standard spec!

Do all 158s have those windows in the end doors? Not something I remember noticing before.
Yes all the gangwayed 15x fleet have them, the vast majority of them have had the outer gangway sheet replaced by a metal sheet rather than the original clear one.
If you're ever on coupled up 15x units and you walk between the units you can see the window in the folded back door

I spotted 158845 in Middlesbrough sidings today, looking nice and shiny on the outside. However, it appears to have the shocking ‘Iron board’ seats now!!! I thought that the 15* stock where keeping what ever seats they had and the new blue seat coverings applied. When I took part in the ‘pick a seat’ survey at Manchester, I most definitely didn’t vote for those. They ruin a very fine ex BR express unit in my opinion.

Kind regards.

All the refurbished Northern 158’s to date have these new seats (with the exception off the 3 car units 158752-9 but I expect in time they too will receive them).
