Interesting read on www.railjournal.com about Wabtec overhauling and refurbishing 40 class 158 units for transport for Wales and east Midlands railways starting from June this year. Nice to hear especially as it's in place to at least to 2022. Also wonder what future plans are in store for these units now. Hopefully transport for Wales and east Midlands railways will use them for many years to come.

The work is split between fleets in service with two operators. Work on 24 two-car vehicles operated by Transport for Wales, which require a full vehicle and bogie C4 overhaul, will begin in August 2020 and will be completed by December 2022. The 16 two-car vehicles operated by East Midlands Railway require a C4 bogie overhaul with work set to start in June and conclude by November 2021.Wabtec to overhaul 40 class 158 DMUs for Angel Trains
