The standard interior is the non standard and differ slightly new seating, new flooring and internal repaint. The wifi and charging will be the next stage of refurb

845 has been stabled at NH for a fair few weeks awaiting space at Heaton. NH stable and light maintain 158s. And as for the shed its slowly getting there and might be ready for Christmas 2021
Thanks Christmas 2021 for NH shed. You could have had WW1 in that time

Shed related and not one of Northern's crates but apparently the new shed at Newton Heath is now connected to the outside world I did hear!

VSTP ROG 5Q12 1450 Eastleigh - Heaton 27/06
Pathed as a diesel loco.
Planned for 75mph max
Strange its pathed for a diesel loco.
However if it's the usual 156 move I think there may be 2 of Heatons ex Scotrail Angel 156s at Eastleigh.
465 went there on 1st May and 496 on 20th Jan but may have returned.
Of the ex Scotrail 156s I belive it just leaves 156 485 to PRM.

More paths booked today only. NH too and from both the Crewe works. See if any run.
Also presumably the usual Sat 156 swaps have run NL too from Holbeck as well as another 158 path again NH Heaton.

Prob more Angel units getting CETtanks. For interest I have 150 225 as going to Crewe on 14th Jun and 150 144 on 20th.
Cant be many left to do.
Presumably the Portabook units are all done.
