That's not tribal art, it's the old EMT Intercity livery. Obviously they haven't been bothered to paint and/or vinyl the whole train!
I… but… he knows that. It was quite clearly a joke.That's not tribal art, it's the old EMT Intercity livery. Obviously they haven't been bothered to paint and/or vinyl the whole train!

I've seen other EMR Intercity trains in their EMR outgoing livery (didn't take note of numbers) which also had doors that were in plain red - i.e. the old EMT livery.
Did they have to replace the doors with spare EMT doors, or did they just not bother repainting the doors...
Whoosh!That's not tribal art, it's the old EMT Intercity livery.
Yeah, completely obvious they couldn't be bothered.Obviously they haven't been bothered to paint and/or vinyl the whole train!
Not long left now for 153319+153379, seen at Etches Park in Derby. This type’s last scheduled day’s work is on 11 December, operating Cleethorpes-Barton-on-Humber services.
I've always been fond of 153s but it'll be good to have them gone - a micro fleet of 6 has been every bit as problematic as you'd expect.
Plus weren’t EMR meant to have gotten rid of them 2 years ago?I've always been fond of 153s but it'll be good to have them gone - a micro fleet of 6 has been every bit as problematic as you'd expect.

Yeah, completely obvious they couldn't be bothered.
I mean there's 1000 and 1 other reasons why a door might go unliveried, but it must be because they couldn't be bothered to do it and assumed nobody would notice.
Looks alot better at the front end

Yes, I think the various cascade issues from other TOCs (eg WMR 170s) have had knock on effects, meaning that the 156s haven’t been able to move over quick enough. That does make me wonder, though, how EMR are managing to take the 153s out of service when they can’t even run the whole Regional schedule with their existing stock.Plus weren’t EMR meant to have gotten rid of them 2 years ago?
That's the only plausible reason why the door wasn't liveried as well
Lack of sanding and/or WSP equipment?I was told however that the Angel owned 156s (470, 473, 497, 498) will be used more often as they’ve only been seldom used in recent weeks. I believe it’s something to do with their capabilities during leaf fall being different to the Porterbrook ones. This should balance out the shortfall of 156s.
I think 156412/422 are both in Wolverton currently (and renumbered from 912/922) - could it be those two?I also read somewhere that after 401/402 go, two more will follow shortly but take that with a pinch of salt, until I find the source at least
Different owners and Northern have agreed the deal with Porterbrook.Out of curiosity, is there a reason why Northern couldn't take back the 4 ex-Northern Rail ones that were handed to EMT years ago (when Northern Rail inherited lots of 150s from London Midland), instead of taking EMR's inherited Central Trains/Greater Anglia ones?
Certainly on the insideBut is it a "scabby" Anglia one?
And they're welcome to it. 401 is a pedigree, I'd rather hold on to it as long as possible402 is an Anglia one…
These two have been renumbered back to 156412/422 on the system.Updated list:
156912 - EMR outgoing livery (ex 156412 - at Wolverton for prep for Northern)
156922 - EMR outgoing livery (ex 156422 - at Wolverton for prep for Northern)
Not sure if you're keeping this bit up to date, but of these:43043, 045, 060, 064, 073, 081, 082 are at Long Marston.
43465, 468, 480, 484 are with Rail Adventure at Eastleigh
Thank for the updates. I completely forgot about the power car movements!These two have been renumbered back to 156412/422 on the system.
Not sure if you're keeping this bit up to date, but of these:
43073/082 are at Colne Valley Railway
43081 is at Crewe Heritage Centre
43480/484 are in Germany (last seen at München Hbf depot, I believe!)
Modified since the first incarnation of it we saw at Eastleigh (the original rather angular 331 like design). The designers did visit the works and so 121 had it's front re-repainted to what it is now, which is the design going forward.Looks alot better at the front end
