Yes that's correct although the diagrams haven't begun as loco hauled sets yet.
It was in for refurbishment around June this year.
Yeah, I have it as going in around 13/06 but then no record of it ever coming back out again
Do we know when they will start the MK4's with their DVTs? 82216 is still out of service in Llandore with SDO fittings.

You're better off following the Mk4 thread for updates on this. HD01 (82226) is at Landore, HD02 (82229) at Canton, HD03 (82216) is at Crewe, HD04 and HD06 are at Canton and Crewe respectively for training. HD05 is at Canton broken and HD07 and 8 are at Landore.
Those plus 022 and 029
I was told that it had left Pullmans, but it hasn't been seen out yet. Perhaps undergoing maintenance.
It's out on the Pembroke Dock branch today
Thanks and guess what its out on 2E10 0541 Swansea to Pembroke Dock - 150285
Its ran/ is running an ECS from Cardiff canton to Swansea then has been bouncing back and forth imbetween Swansea and Pembroke dock until getting to Swansea at 17:18. Next it forms the 17:52 to Carmarthen before working the 18:50 to Cardiff central via Swansea (picking up 153329 and 153926 at Swansea.) Finally it works an ECS into Cardiff canton tonight.
I've heard May 2023 for the 150 return to Northern. As to 158s, I believe there are a few diagrams out of the cambrian circuits, at least one on Cardiff Holyhead for sure.
23:09 Shrewsbury-Cardiff brings the 158 to Form 09:23 Cardiff-Holyhead, 14:33 Holyhead Cardiff, 19:41 Cardiff Holyhead not sure of any other booked weekday working outside of the usual Cambrian-Birmingham and Birmingham/Manchester-Holyhead workings
I think post #1938 is spot on. None booked west of Cardiff apart from occasional weekend work. However, they often stand in for 175s. Also, they come to Canton for tyre turning. Once done, they get sent out on any suitable diagram including the 150 diagrams that goes to Pembroke Dock.
There has been a 158 sometimes doing Cheltenham to Measteg, I had 821 and 833 in November/ early december
Possibly because some of the 170s have gone to EMT. I assume once the remaining 170s go then any spare 175s and 158s will be used for former 170 diagrams.
It'll likely be any spare dmu to include 150 and double 153s
It’s still mainly the 3 coach 170s (all 2 coach ones went to EMR) but occasionally a sprinter pops up on it - usually a 150 but sometimes a 158 or double 153. They don’t have enough 170s left to cover both Ebbw Vale and Cheltenham so one will almost always appear on either of those lines.
There are six diagrams for the remaining eight units. The off-peak service to Ebbw Vale, Maesteg and Cheltenham Spa requires seven units so one is a 150. The 170 that would natually do the 16:33 to Ebbw Vale actually works the 17:20 to Maesteg so an eighth unit does the Ebbw Vale. It's either a 150 or a pair of 153s.
I've just seen a Facebook post of 153374 on a lorry in Llanelli fully stripped of parts presuming heading for scrap
Oh surprisingly close to me could be nice
Are they still in northern livery?
