Welcome.As this is the right forum, does anyone know whats going on with the 159/1s none have been refurbished yet even though they finished on the 159/0s ages ago. Also they seem to have applied the livery to the 159s yet not changed the interiors.
AIUI from earlier discussions the 158/159 interior and exterior work is being done by separate contracts, and although the interior stuff is obviously delayed, according to the 2017 franchise agreement it was originally only due to finish by Dec 2020 anyway.
Post #3095 in this thread records the latest tender being issued in June this year.
It’s all gone a bit quiet, I’m now wondering if there‘s any actual need to alter the seating capacities? The intended changes, eg altering first class to 2+2 layout, were fairly minimal…
