The first one you put should run at least as another 323 will be needed to strengthen services on the electrified network next week. Not so familiar with the diesel situation though. Obviously the more in traffic the merrier

Yeah just a recap as it can get a bit confusing with all the zig zagging of units

They were done first before the final design was approved so got a half hearted refurb some got new seat covers other didnt so they've gone back for the final interior design same as the 2 cars. Still no plugs or WiFi though

Presumably they are getting new seats, as most (all?) of them were left with the original ones?

Is the current plan that all 158s will eventually have Fainsa seats with moquette covers, and all be fitted with USB charging sockets? It's difficult to keep track! There were two ex-Scotrail units which had a first-class section, but I assume this will have been removed when they were refurbished?

From the lists above I assume that only the 156s with original seats are getting new seats, and those with Chapman/Richmond are retaining those? Presumably they'll all eventually get moquette seat covers. Will they get USB sockets?

What else is getting USB sockets? I thought 333s were, but if so they weren't done as part of the recent refurbishment.

Thanks

158786 & 789 both came with the original FC area from their SWT days. Both removed at refurbishment.

Thanks - that's the ones I was thinking of. SWT-colour vestibules and first class seats, Chapman seats in the old ATW colours in standard class, with a seat cover or two replaced in Scotrail blue livery, and Scotrail carpets - they were a real mixture of liveries!

I see there's been an STP move input from Newton Heath - Crewe tomorrow, aswell as the long standing one which never seems to run. Maybe a second unit going this week?
