Great, now on the Manchesters that's 2 normal seats less, and 10 less tip up seats. :lol:
This area should be kept clear for passengers to get on and off the trains, plus kept clear for traincrew to perform their duties.

Has the TfW refurb made changes to the interior layout of the 158s then? I thought it was just re-covering the seats etc. fitted at the 2011ish refurb

Is 150267 finished being refurbished yet?
Not sure for definite, but it's not out working today.

AFAIK that is indeed the case. Other than recovering the seats and adding extra sockets there's not much noticeable change.

I thought 153968 had been done a while

Yes, that came out a while ago. 918 and 982 were in, so maybe it was 918 that came out today

I can't post a link to genius obviously but it shows 968 as being allocated to 5Z68 from Landore to Canton this morning. Also note the headcode - for ECS moves like this TfW usually include the unit number in the headcode. So it looks like for whatever reason 968 ended up in Landore again at some point but came back out again today.

RTT has often been behind (or in some cases ahead) when it has come to these TfW repaints :D

Agreed. I don't know if it is still the case, but 175112 was showing as being in Arriva colours for a long time after refurbishment. I have no idea if it still does, and similar applied to the 153/9s. Again, no idea if they still are or not!

Tom at RTT soon updated 450061 when I told him of its repaint so if there any liveries known to be wrong just let him know via a message on the RTT home page and he will update them.

So to be clear are we saying that:
150 267 and 150 213 have been refurbished and are in TfW livery
150 208 is now in Canton being refurbished

Meanwhile on the Class 153 front:
153 918 and 153 982 are still in Landore receiving full PRM refurbs
153 968 and 153 972 have been released having received full PRM refurbs (or did they get the PRM lite treatment?)

968 isn't allocated today so not sure what's happening there, but 972 is out today on the Pembroke branch. Given it's still numbered 972 and is attached to a 153/3 that would suggest it's only had a PRM lite.

Thanks Craigy - if you see it in the flesh you can update us - it’s a TfW owned set which is why I thought it might have a full refurb.

I was on 972 the other day, definitely PRM lite and still with its different seats too.
968 was in the shed at Canton a few weeks ago in shiny tfw colours

Does anyone know when 150213 went into Canton and when it completed it's refurb please?
