Ah ok was wondering as the unit is really nice

 

[ValleyLines142]

Was on a 153 today dark blue/ purple in colour with tfw logo but no wifi or prm I don't know it's number but wondering where it's came from previous to tfw

Would be either of 153329, 153361 or 153369, but I believe the former is currently being refurbished.

It's currently doing Pembroke Dock branch

It's the only one in that livery now, with 153329 having come back from Long Marston and 153361 still there.

67014 is now in TfW livery, with all the ex EMR 153s having gained TfW branding and logos.

What a mess they’ve made of painting the front! Are they all like that?!

A bit of black paint around the drivers windscreen would certainly improve it!

Do you or anyone know if a 153 has gone the other way to replace it, and if so which one...? Also would appreciate if someone posted here when "329" enters service

I'm sorry but are we looking at the same photo? It looks immaculate to me

I've posted news of 329 returning here but without a picture:-

The paint itself is immaculate but I’m talking about the odd treatment of the black and yellow on the front - particularly on the drivers side.

 

[Anonymous10]

Anyone know why the 150 on the Pembroke Dock branch was replaced by a 143 and why a 143 is coupled to a 153 just wondering

The 153 is one of the fully refurbished and prm ones

 

[Anonymous10]

currently on a refurbed 153 (think it’s 153325) and no WiFi.

It has now had WiFi fitted I believe all be it dodgy but could be wrong as was on a Pembroke Dock service but coupled to 143615

There’s a return path tomorrow afternoon

Thanks My guess is it's going to be 153369, as only the Porterbrook "longer-term" 153s have been refurbished so far and that would be the last one after 153361 which is currently in the workshop. Then the 5 Angel 153s will follow, seems to be the plan.

Which ones are the Angel 5?

153303, 153312, 153327, 153353 and 153362

 

[Apedlar12]

153303, 153312, 153327, 153353 and 153362

You guessed right. 369 on route as 5M94

Apparently 153306/314/322 went to Landore today - does anyone know why...?

 

[anamyd]

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/K01242/2020-03-04/detailed Landore to Etches Park today, could this be the above 153s...?

I believe this move was an EMR class 156/9 heading back after receiving repairs or a refurbishment? There is a photo of it in the Railways of South Wales Group on FB and on Twitter

Interesting, I wonder why those 153s have gone back to Landore then...?

Why would they go back from Landore to Derby ? They've just been transferred to TFW
