Northern Unit Refurbishments

[djpontrack]

well it would make sense to have it semi permanently coupled to another 150/2 or a 156 but no doubt if will end up will a 150/1.

150209 was with a 150/1 yesterday morning at Piccadilly. It was on local services and I saw it a few times during my shift there.

Is that permitted (no toilet access as no through gangway).

Its perfectly legal to have no access to a toilet on a train. Legislation only states that if there is a toilet then it must be fully accessible. The accessible toilet on the 150/1 is clearly identifiable by the blue stickers on top of the door.

Pacers running with 150’s was deemed legal so no reason why not.

 

[Mex I can]

At the umpteenth attempt, nice.
Also means if 861 "does" go to crewe next weekend, spells the end of the purple livery for stock that's had PRM mods.

It was on Sheffield to Hull and back today. This probably has no bearing on where it will end up this weekend, I just like to see trains that are being talked about on here.

The little picture on RTT shows it in the new livery, but it’s definitely still in faded purple.

That's if they run

 

[Adam0984]

The Heaton runs maybe cut back to Neville Hill unless they can get 861 from Leeds to Heaton before Saturday

That's if they run

The Wolverton, Crewe and Eastleigh are all down for 23rd return

Been keeping an eye out for the 323224 on the wolverton to allerton run.

 

[AMD]

150209 is still planned to be split, along with one other 150/2, hence why it has not had a toilet installed.

150209 is still planned to be split, along with one other 150/2, hence why it has not had a toilet installed.

Is this possible use as a x3 car 150/2 for huddersfield to Sheffield/ Sheffield to Leeds services to replace the 150/2 153 turns.

So the 150/9 project is going ahead?

Don't know of they'll be numbered 150/9, but apparently it will be happening after all.

 

[jonesy3001]

Don't know of they'll be numbered 150/9, but apparently it will be happening after all.

I wonder if they'll keep their normal numbers like Newton heath used to do the last time they did 3 car hybrids.

 

[OTRail]

I wonder if they'll keep their normal numbers like Newton heath used to do the last time they did 3 car hybrids.

Or they could do what Central Trains did and renumber them as 150/0s?

323224 will be leaving Wolverton today.

Wow 323 234 leaving Wolv. Been there since 24th Aug.
Tis a miracle. Smoke from the Vatican
I suspect it's the only one of todays 5 booked moves to run.

5E18 0944 Crewe to Heaton 158855
5M31 1025 off Neville via the world to Newton Heath is 150210

 

[SteveyBee131]

Evidently 158861 shall fly the purple flag for a bit longer. It's allocated to work 2H95, 16:18 Carlisle to Leeds, so not heading for refurb/repaint yet!

 

[Geeves]

I suspect this might be it last trip over the hills in Purple with it finished at Neville Hill tonight. End of an era!

 

[theblackwatch]

Both moves are pencilled in for next Saturday for units returning 156447 from Eastleigh and 158855 from Crewe with presumably 158861 on the return working marking an end to purple 158s

I see the move of 156447 was (unsurprisingly) cancelled.

Given that 323224 has finally returned to Allerton what units are yet to return following refurbishment?
