I was told it was the units which had exams done at Longsight. Which 211 was done at Doncaster.

I believe this is the next 323 going to receive Northern digitmods tomorrow.

Dunno if this is the right thread, but it appears the 350/3s are finally being refurbished according to this tweet with pictures of the refurbished first area: https://twitter.com/inv_pete/status/1711605661442695562?s=46&t=6i1aBPVcMtBcOm-7YL6dVA

What's the obsession with carpet down the middle? Always gets destroyed after a few months when we could put something more cleanable.

It reduces noise, hides minor dirt and generally makes the interior feel more pleasant. Well worth it, in my view.

350376 is the unit which is refurbed for those wondering

Somewhat ironic that they wait until first class is declassified to refurbish the first class
I take it that means the seats are there to stay then. I for one prefer them, and love a seat that reclines, so I'm certainly not complaining.

They're all yours. The back cushion is a weird shape and hurts my back, and the legroom is terrible. I'd choose Standard even in a /2.
There is indeed no plan to replace those seats, there's not really any point. They are a different style to Standard and peoples' opinions on them may vary, but they're still 2+2 so a reasonable Standard product.

If the doors and curtains were kept, the ex-first class section might have made a nice quiet zone.

The seating orientation seems to have been changed; in the standard class section between the entrance doors and the former bulkhead (the one that was in an intermediate position, not the one at a vestibule) previously there were facing seats in this section, now they are uni-directional and all face the table. I wonder if the pitch in the former 1st has been reduced because I think uni-directional seating takes up slightly more space than facing without a table.
It also looks like that intermediate bulkhead has been completely removed but the one at the other end (near to vestibule) has just had the doors taken away.

You're not seeing that Standard section there, just "1st". The photographer appears to be stood in the doorway and using a wide angle lens. 1st has 3 windows, then the 4th is behind the photographer in that small Standard area.
They're still facing each other from what I see in the image.

Yes sorry, you're right. I thought the left hand view was from about the position of the 'intermediate' bulkhead and then mis-counted the seats. In fact, it's from the door vestibule at the opposite end. I'll delete my thread in a while, once there's been an opportunity for others to see your response.

Yep, diligentdave put a post in this thread and he's never wrong, post 30.
Class 319 Northern departure
So with these expected to leave the fleet by 30 November.. How on earth are Northern going to run the remainder of the TT without them? Will they have all been cascaded about before hand with the 331s or will we see STP short formations for the first week of December? Seems odd these are booked...

Not sure if this is applicable for this thread but all WMT/LNR stations now have text-to-speech announcements, with stations receiving new customer information displays and clocks.
LED lighting is also being rolled out across the network - still on-going.

Who’s paying for this? Was it an old franchise commitment?
I also can’t say I’ve heard any of the new announcements.

Like the Anne replacement announcements and this style of information displays?
