Has 156412 had a repaint (or new vinyls at least) at Wolverton then?

When 156402 left, it had only had a repaint. But it was going back to EMR.

Interesting they are still running the unit’s with EMR logos! (401’s even still got EMR posters inside!)
401 made an appearance on Lime Street to Oxford Road services on friday:
And 415 made an appearance on Stalybridge to Southport Services yesterday:

This might be why 401/415 is still branded for EMR.Interesting they are still running the unit’s with EMR logos! (401’s even still got EMR posters inside!)

Just to put everyone right, 401, 402, 412 & 415 are staying with Northern from the day they came until they go off lease again whenever. Don't care what you've heard, what others say etc. I know this for fact. They are all now on Northern exam regimes, mods done to bring them up to speed and the branding (logo's etc.) will be coming off soon, just hadn't got round to it as they were needed for service.

so they’re not going back to EMR then.

Wasn't EMR's original plan to remove all sprinters from their fleet anyways, so why this talk of sending them back?

They haven't received all of the 170s yet from WMR/TFW. Could be quite a while yet..

Then why not refrain from sending more? Makes more sense than returning them to EMR from Northern.
It was mentioned to me by a colleague (and by fleet control at EMR), and in my original post I did make it clear that I wasn’t sure on the truth of it. EMR are stretched with rolling stock as it is, what with 153s leaving the fleet and the 170s taking a long time to filter through from the West Midlands so it could well make sense. The original plan was for the 156/9s to be the first to go and it was said by the above that 156401/415 would come back in exchange for two 156/9s. It must be said that plans can be turbulent and things change
If you are doubtful, the best thing to do is to wait and see.

So it would be a straight swap for the TrainFX fitted units?

I would imagine that to be the case if true. If they are permanently Northern, then I’m not too sure how loans to other TOCs would be factored in as I’m not that familiar with exams and maintenance scheduling

Having two units sat unused at Barrow Hill seems a bit of a waste if there is a stock shortage at EMR.
