are all the WMT 323s having PRM mods before going to northern or just the select ones?
Additionally, there have been a couple of 172/0 moves from Tyseley to Ilford in recent weeks - is this for the fitment of plugs to the class?
I'm currently on 172005 in service, it now has plugs, updated PIS and also new information screens
Ahh, it must just be done on the external running boards then. Leighton Buzzard still hasn't been de-golded either.It's not entirely true to say that Northampton now has total LNwR signage (and I did look through many, but far from all, of the 70 pages of the thread but I apologise if this has already been covered).
Northampton received gold station name boards after the Olympics and not only are these still retained under the canopies, but the areas between each name board is still in black with green line (i.e., still LM).
Possibly re-signing in gold is in the "bit difficult" category, but I wonder about the other 'gold' stations.
Stone was gold with the black LM sign underneath. They just replaced the sign with a new WMR oneIt's not entirely true to say that Northampton now has total LNwR signage (and I did look through many, but far from all, of the 70 pages of the thread but I apologise if this has already been covered).

Full LCD info screens?
Yes, the scroller has been replaced with a full LCD, the screens are similar to the ones on the 350s
Indeed - I haven't passed through NMP in quite a while actually, I just go by what I've seen on Flickr - which explains why I missed that bit out!Yes, that's right. Because the gold etc. ones are tucked up under the canopy they're not obvious so I can see why, if passing through, once you saw the R-I-Bs had been changed, you'd tick it off as 'done'.
Not sure if it’s been noted yet or not but 350125 now has the refurbished interior albeit with former London Midland livery
I noticed the launch day non-standard WMR nameboards at Snow Hill were being taken down and replaced with standard WMR nameboards last week.
Can they now start sending units of for refurbishment and corrosion repairs?
Not sure if Long Marston's actually doing any corrosion/repair work at the moment with all the social distancing rules. Remember that the only reason that LNWR have now received all 10 units is due to the fact that TPE have reduced their services by such a degree as to render them surplus.Can they now start sending units of for refurbishment and corrosion repairs?
