5Q12 just left Eastleigh Depot 1133.
Got as far as Allbrook, gone back to Eastleigh Depot via Botley line connection.

1343
Just leaving Eastleigh station northbound. Second attempt.

156465?

Just down to one non compliant 156 now with Northern, this being 156447. It was around the North East last week.
Sighting at Basingstoke reported on SE Gen as 156465 & photo on flickr at EH

5Q12 having a bad day!
Turned round at Hatton due to signalling problems at Small Heath. Changed ends at Leamington and now running via Coventry - Stechford - Aston - Lichfield - Wichnor as far as Derby.

5H70 Newton Heath - Wolverton running.

Got refurbished 158793 earlier from Sheffield - Leeds express the air con was top notch thank god for that as 158797 was like a sauna on the Leeds - Sheffield

Have they done the air cons as part of the refurbishment or as part of keeping the train cool in the current Covid situation as very very rare did the work before Covid happened

Where in the world is Lewis Sandiego?
558T 1527 NL to Crewe ran 158 minutes early but was diverted through WBQ; it was a 150/2 but I didn't get the numbers

Also NH to Crewe ran through the same route but was 34 minutes late; it was an unrefurbished 150/1 but I didn't get the numbers once again

Updated lists 20/09/20, corrections welcome. Any updates on the 3 car 158's and which 156 went to Holbeck today would be appreciated, along with any further seat cover changes which seem to be picking up pace, 155341 and 156466 being recent additions. 150111 is now in new colours with refurb, although I never saw any mention of it going down! 150226 going to Crewe means the end of the purple 150/2s.
