Have been told that 350404 is in service with WMT now......those are the only two that were ready for Sunday......a third could join this weekend (tentatively 405) and a fourth (410) in the first week of January.

350410 also supposedly in service.

350403 has been LNWR vinyled at Ardwick, although not due to transfer down until new year.

On the 323 refurb, I believe 323214 is away. Not seen for a couple of weeks.

Updated, the units came from TPE out of sync! As above, 410 is already and here in service with 404.

401 and 405 are both on Kings Heath today.

I can confirm that 350373 isn't in the revised livery and hasn't changed since it was reliveried at the start of WMT (With the exception of the first class stripe)
And its Hippodrome vinyl. It.didnt have that either at the start.

Class 153 (all to transfer to EMR?):
153310: EMT debranded livery, on loan from EMR
153326: EMT debranded livery, on loan from EMR
153310 and 326 have left WMT and are on the way to TfW. None of the 153s will transfer to EMR.

Maybe this is just taken as usual, but I thought it odd; travelled on 172 216 today and it has WMR livery, an interior retrimmed with WMR moquette and carpets, but the maps over the doors still say 'London Midland' (preceded by some slogan I can't recall). Seems odd to go to all that trouble and leave that reminder.
