The most recent 350/1 to come back from Long Marston after corrosion repair was 350105 - anyone know when the next one's due to be?

In theory it should be this weekend, 350114 should return. Although nothing showing on RTT as yet.

why are the 350/3s not getting the new seat covers or repainted grab handles and rails?

Dosent make much sense to me

Surely a uniform fleet is easier to maintain instead of having the mismatched seat cover and interior?

The 350/3 is in a good enough condition to not require a seat cover or carpet replacement just yet. I've been on a few and they do look good still.

The /4s are now the most scruffy in terms of their long term fleet, hence why around half of those have been refurbished so far.

The 350/2 (the 2+3 ones) will be gone before 2023, so they are unlikely to receive any works.

I agree a uniform fleet is easier to manage, but with time that will happen.

Thanks for the update, the list on post number 1 will now be updated.

350114 came back from corrosion repairs today and 350107 went in. 37601 doing the honours both ways to/from Long Marston.

A coach of 108 has been covered in a fairly awful looking combo of pink and black vinyls for a new anti trespass campaign.

Blimey, I shall be looking out for that one then! Thanks for the details!

106 had been graffitied when I was on it last week.

It still hasn't got LNWR livery yet either.

Class 350/1 refurbishment

Has anyone else notice that 350/1s are a different shade to /3s and 4s? I've seen a few like this and obviously whoever ordered the vinyl for the /1 refurb got the wrong colour. Only subtle, but when together they stick out like a sore thumb. Left a proper LNWR colour on a /3 & Right a /1 with a...

@221101 Voyager
If you're still looking for 350108, it's currently on the 2N10 NMP-EUS (with 350121 & 350126).

Thanks for that, I had forgotten about it TBH!

If it's not too cold tomorrow, I shall try and search for it then.
It'll probably not be in service tomorrow though, that's just my luck!

57310 took 350126 to Long Marston today. Headcode was, as per usual, 5Q94. (Also posted in the "Class 350/1 Refurbishment" thread)

Thanks for the update, I've added that to the fleet list.

Can now confirm that 350407 is refurbed. That completes the program now.

Its a shame the /4s and /3s still wont be receiving the green and grey coloured hand rails and grips.

I prefer the yellow ones, aren't they also more compliant for disability regs too?

Whenever I've been on a /3, the seats usually look like new, so I can see why they haven't been done yet.

They'll probably replace them with LNR Grey when they run of of LM green spares.

They'll probably run out of grey first, the ribbed moquette seems to be wearing very badly indeed. Prize for the first person to spot a green seat cover on a /1 or /4?

True. That grey moquette does look very poor indeed considering it's age, the material looks pretty cheap also. I must say the LM moquette looks much better quality and seems to be much more hardwearing.

 

[RealTrains07]

I wondered that but it dosent explain why the /1s had their hand rails and grips re painted? Those colours do also fit with the disability regs too as the grey contrasts well against the blue panels by the door.

just seems a little lazy really?
