Another Active travel unit has been released from Landore. 153318+153572 have been formed into AT05 (not 06 as expected, not sure why the original sequence of the /5s vehicle number hasnt stuck with this one) and run to Canton.
This just leaves the 2 at Crewe (327 and 568) and looking like 153312 is now the spare.

It's disappointing that TfW haven't formed 153318 with 153568 to re-create 155318!

I recall a very long time ago reading, possibly on the old uk.railway newsgroup, a driver who often worked 153s in East Anglia stating that for some unknown reason they often went wrong when coupled up back in the original pair!

327 hasn't got seats in it.

I presume 572 has come from 972?
