Progress of delivery of cascaded/refurbished/PRM modified stock to TFW/Wales and Borders

[Caaardiff]

150235 and 150237 are the ones currently at Crewe undergoing refurb. Not many left to go!

Wonder if they will start putting them in TfW livery soon then?

PRM compliancy is the priority due to the time factor. Livery can come another day.

There's still some 150s that need WSP fitting as well. Not sure how many, but I was very surprised to find myself working one yesterday.

235 is back in service today after PRM mods.

AIUI, the non-WSP'd 150s are: 213 & 245.

Has 150245 still got it's original door controls? Very strange it's the only Welsh 150 not to have them replaced

Yes it's still fitted with them. As other operators are all modified now it must be the only 150 and quite possibly the only train at all with them.

So I believe it's just 230, 251 and 255 left?

Is that six 150s left to have their PRM mods?

I'd be amazed if it keeps them post PRM though. Pretty sure they're not compliant.

July/August they're expected to go in. Shouldn't be out of action for too long if it's a new coast of paint and seat covers

I'd like to see them removed but kept to go back on a class 150 in preservation

I'd agree maybe a week or so a train even with social distancing

Is that the little square buttons which lit up very badly?

Yep, on 245 it's not even visible to fully sighted people, let alone partially sighted people. The internal door open/close buttons aren't any better

Back in the day, the open button was always the top one. Now it's a lottery. On all BR units I simply keep my finger on the open button as the train stops and the doors open as soon the train crew activate them.

150255 is now PRM modded. Not sure when it was done but it's back in service now.

 

[JakeMurphy]

Same with 150251

 

[Philip Roberts]

At the current rate of work, do we know when all the 150s and 153s be PRM compliant? By the end of July?

 

[ValleyLines142]

150255 is now PRM modded. Not sure when it was done but it's back in service now.

Already discussed

 

[sd0733]

150237 is now back in service after mods. 150281 finished at Crewe a couple of says ago and hasnt come out again so presumably that is now in for work.
Looking at other posts it's now just 230, 245 and 278 left unmodified. Of those only 245 is allocated today so potentially the other 2 could already be stopped.

 

[ValleyLines142]

150278 has had PRM mods. Currently leading the 1317 Treherbert to Barry Island with 150254.

Over on the ‘Transport for Wales’ livery thread, I’ve been updating the fleet list with information as it comes in. Rather than repeating the lengthy list here, go check it out, although I have included the 150 section below. The information is as a result of the posts on this forum and may not be 100% correct, so please do correct me if I am wrong on anything. Like I said; the entire list of 67, 142, 143, 150, 153, 158, 170, 175, 230 and 769 is on the TfW livery thread.

@hobbm013 if you're after a date for 150251 it's May 2020.

 

[St. Paddy]

According to this month’s Modern Railways, two of the five remaining 153s requiring PRM mods are currently being treated. Anyone know which ones and where they’re being done?

Edit. Just seen a picture on the TFW livery thread of one outside Landore in the new livery approaching completion

 

[JakeMurphy]

153353 and 153312

Yup, the 5 Angel Trains units are being done at Swansea Landore. Unit 2, 153 312 should be released first, possibly on Tuesday. Unit 1 (353) will undergo some further mods, but the PRM/paint is complete.
