Passed Holbeck yesterday as well as the usual 156 and 158 a 170 was partially rubbed down inside the shed haven’t all the 170’s been done?

Theyre not repainting anything at the moment so the paint pod was free. Internals don't particularly need doing in the shed and Holbeck is well placed for Crofton where some of the 170s are currently residing

Also STP for 03/09

Crewe - NH STP 03/09

All caped on the day, so, one assumption could be, units were not ready,
All cancelled again.

237 on the way back 5Q36

Last update for 268 was the 30th showing at Newton Heath but might be wrong!

Strange 323 237 as it's only been away since 25th July where 225 has been there since 23 May. K
323237 is not untypical of many of the 323s in terms of time in works. Presumably there are problems with 225 - perhaps with modifying the seat layout to standard?

508K 0937 Crewe C.S. to Neville Hill T&R.S.M.D has set off. Does anyone know what’s operating this service?

On another, slightly unrelated note the announcements on the 331s at least have changed, I’m not sure if this is the case across the entire Northern fleet.

Not northern related but the WMT 323 PRM and C6 programme has been completed with 241 the last one to be done, before they move to northern.
If the plans haven't changed then I assume they will have a minor refresh (repaint+new seat covers+new exterior vinyls) before the enter service with Northern.

Well if Heaton to Eastleigh runs today. I would expect it to be 156447. As the other non refurbished ex SR 156 (485) has just left Darlington for Bishop Auckland coupled with refurbished sister unit 156496.

Last of the northern 323s to be refurbished, 323223 on 5Q70.
Meaning just the 2 ex scotrail 156s left to refurb now.
