Just to add 150226 both cars were painted in full white livery which presumably means shortly it'll be split and made it to form two more 3 car sets. 150007 and 008?

Yes. 150132 (to be 007) and 150111 (when it's released from Wolverton C6).

Are these for Northern taking over 1tp2h Leeds - Huddersfield?
If so are replacements expected at Newton Heath? Optimistic I know!

 

[T74]

Yes. 150132 (to be 007) and 150111 (when it's released from Wolverton C6).

Didn’t 150111 get sent back to newton heath from wolverton on 30/9

150007 formed up at Heaton but not yet renumbered, 52226 as the centre www.flickr.com/photos/192305916@N07/54121163536

Thanks

It was only 001/2 which didn't have WiFi or digital mods, and they still don't as far as I'm aware.

Heaton based 156485 was the other one which was having a holiday down on the Buxton line after some work at NH

I did see a lone 150/2 car outside Heaton when I went past on Saturday, presumably that was 57226 waiting to be inserted into 150111?

[150275mylords]

Anyone know when 150007 will be released?

 

[diligentdave]

Anyone know when 150007 will be released?

Hopefully in about a week or so. Once completed at Heaton it will move to Neville Hill. Both 007 & 008 should be available for the December timetable.

Is there any say on what the formations are? I had a look in the Platform 5 DMU book for 2025 and 150007 and 150008 are shown in italics, with no vehicles for either, but 150111, 150132 and 150226 are still listed with their respective 52xxx and 57xxx vehicles, formations they won’t run in during 2025.

 

[reecestrains]

If I'm gonna make a comment regarding the TrainFX PIS on the Northern 170's... Significant downgrade to the original Bombardier screens which looked far better and gave more information.

The new ones are just on a single line and way too bright. I see that they've done it to be in line with sprinters but was a bad idea in my opinion as they could've put the announcements on the Bombardier system like ScotRail did. Plus the new ones do glitch and get one station ahead pretty often too.

These original ones were far better in my opinion. Feel free to disagree if you wish but I'm just sharing my opinion.
