Welshpool "bus shelter" now has "T logos"! Ironically taken from 158-830, which doesn't :lol:
The canopy pillars and lighting units at Tenby have been painted dark grey, but nothing else - including the canopies and bridge have been touched - so it looks like a desultory box ticking exercise at present.

All traces of Turquoise being painted in the same dark grey at Bangor at the moment too

Anyone know the status of the 150's with the "?" by them?

They are ones I think have gone in, but don't know if they've been seen out and about since.

Gone in but not come out, but would 4 at once be right...?

Also good to see extra confirmation that the 230s are 006-010 :) Would've been nice to see the rest of the columns (I'm assuming 170, 769 and Mark 4 introduction status, as well as 37&Mark 2, Mark 3 and Pacer withdrawals...?) but grateful just for what I can see of course!

It's not 100%. Only what I've read on t'internet.

Also, 241 is out and about. Not today as yet, but it was over the last couple of days.

Also made one to show the changes from current fleet, to next year fleet, to proposed final fleet. All info taken from various pre and post franchise change announcements etc.

That’s a very nice graphic. I didn’t realise it’ll be such an improvement. I’m really hoping the efforts are seen ASAP as I just want the best service for our passengers. I hate driving trains that have people crammed in like sardines. This gives me hope. I obviously knew about the improvements, but this spreadsheet makes it all simple. I like simple.

The 1530 Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth on Thursday (20/6/19) was worked by a rammed 158-821 on its own (something to do with a window "fault" I heard) whose Driving Motor Disabled Standard may have had its inner saloon-to-vestibule door sensors covered by the front and rear labels of a bottle of Original Source Vanilla and Raspberry shower gel :lol: It worked very well to get fresh air from the "emergency" window hopper into the vestibule!

that's great! although the current fleet section needs updating to include all 13 153s and also the two 4-car Mark 2 rakes :)

Could you also add the number of seats available in each type and then the total number of seats?

Not right now, no.
150's lose around 12 seats after PRM, so they vary. Even after PRM some units have different seat layout. 153 is bound to lose seats too, but seen as none have been finished yet I don't know how many. Also the seating capacity for the CAF and Stadler stock has not yet been made public.

If anyone is interested in such things, 1V99 1652 Holyhead-Cardiff (due Cardiff 2135) will be the 2 TfW liveried 175s in multiple, South of Shrewsbury.

The one currently in Widnes for the overhaul is taking its time, it apparently went in at the end of May.

They look like they're primed and ready for painting. I wonder if there'll be any difference between a painted one and a wrapped one?

Wow :D Judging by that really nice base finish, I would say so ;)

107 deffo still a two car. Saw it passing Colwyn Bay about 18:45 heading towards Junction.

The 175's will have the same design as 003 and 107 but I believe they will be painted rather than wrapped.
Not yet seen a 175 in the new livery, despite living close to Manchester. How many have been done? Saw a reliveried 158 on the Llandudno - MIA service.

Two 175s are in the new livery at the moment.

Not sure if I mentioned it the other day but there was a triplet of 153s on the 0644 Maesteg to Ebbw Vale, all in different liveries (ATW, TFW and ex-FGW). Looked pretty cool!
