There doesn't appear to be a list on that thread.

I have my own general 350 refurb thread for all units, with an up to date /1 status list on the link below to add to your list if youd like! :D

Thanks very much, just changed the URL to link your list instead of the old one.

Thanks, presumably as LTV is outside of the WMCA area and the combined LTV site will be LNWR

Are not all the TV stations LNWR branded? It is the owning franchise which brands the stations.

That is true but in the case of LTV I’m sure I can recall they painted the low level in LNWR green/grey and high level WMT orange/grey. Please correct me if my memory is playing tricks though

I have heard that Chiltern's 172/1 2 car units have been tranferred to WMR and should be in service shortly. Chiltern livery trains are of course a familiar sight between Kidderminster & Birmingham and Birmingham & Leamington.

Thanks for keeping this updated, really useful.
I have a question about 319441 - my records have this down as having gone to store at Crewe South Yard in May. Is this still the case?

And can I just clarify the Class 350 livery detail. Where you use 'Outgoing' is that the plain grey, green doors and black around the windows look? And the full livery being the 'camouflage' style with the Dark and Light greens inter-mingling?

Cheers

Thanks for keeping this updated, really useful.
I have a question about 319441 - my records have this down as having gone to store at Crewe South Yard in May. Is this still the case?

And can I just clarify the Class 350 livery detail. Where you use 'Outgoing' is that the plain grey, green doors and black around the windows look? And the full livery being the 'camouflage' style with the Dark and Light greens inter-mingling?

Cheers
The outgoing livery is that applied to some of the 350/2s and is the debranded London Midland livery with full green ends applied but nothing on the inner coaches.

I’m pretty sure I saw it at Bletchley the other week? Might be mistaken
Last photo's on Flickr are from May at Crewe. I'll do some more digging and report back with any findings :)

That's brilliant. That is the livery I thought for the outgoing livery, thanks very much :)

A quick question, does anyone know if 172008 or 172341 are currently out of action. Haven’t saw them in service for awhile.

Many thanks :D

323201 & 323207 (afaik) have gained poppies for remembrance. A few orange 170s (believe 514 is one) and some 172 have also been done however can’t confirm on the numbers

A friend told me that a couple of weeks ago, he travelled on one of the ex-Chiltern 172/1s which had been covered in purple but without the rest of the WMR livery. Anyone know what the policy is with the ex-Chilterns as I thought that at the time it was said that they would remain in Chiltern liver but with WMR branding as they were on a short lease. I have yet to see one of the ex-Chilterns but then I am still not out and about as much.

An all purple livery sounds like the East Midlands Railway livery carried by the class 170s on temporary loan to West Midlands Railway.

I had a ride on 172101 2 weeks ago which is still in Chiltern livery with West Midlands Railway fleetnames and the same colours are still carried by at least 2 others and I don't think 172103 has run in service yet.

Sounds like they may have travelled on one of the outgoing 170/5s, as they do look superficially from the outside like the 172/1s.

Can't of happened. Must of been a Purple class 170 (EMR livery)
As far as I'm aware, 101 & 104 from recent sightings over the past week are still in Chiltern livery.
102 I haven't seen in awhile and 103 is apparently in Doncaster.
