Yes it's only booked for 1 single 153/9.
Interesting

Presumably something, somewhere has changed as it certainly wasnt allowed before. But certainly the CF58x diagrams were for the /9s and that diagram is one.Interesting

Seems a logical step for such a short route IMO as its probably a unit which otherwise couldn't be used, theres a single PRM 153 on 3 Heart of Wales/Crewe diagrams which renders 3 /9s a day that cant be used otherwise.
The existing level of accessibility standards compliance is maintained; c. Information on non-compliant features of vehicles and alternative travel options is readily available to passengers to assist with informed journey planning. d. Transport for Wales Rail Limited will continue to carry out the measures that it has undertaken to assist customers with reduced mobility where and when the Class 153 units are in operation.
Not sure which is going in next, but 823 is in at the moment as well.Is there a Class 158 unit due to swap at Crewe for refurbishment this week?
158 837 has been there a month from looking back through the thread.
I've always thought that there was no need for a fully PRM'd 153 with a Universal Accessible Toilet to run on short routes on the Valleys. Ideally the refurbished PRM-light 153s are the best ones to put on Coryton - Cardiff Bay and on the City line, Radyr to Central. These routes certainly do not need trains with toilets, there are bus routes in Cardiff that are much slower and take much longer than the journey times of these two rail routes.Presumably something, somewhere has changed as it certainly wasnt allowed before.

I like 150283 will be good to see it in TFw livery150283
Anyone got an update on which 153s are currently at Landore, nothing on this thread for over a month now
913 was in, but is back out now. 935 went in on 17th Sept and they having been taking about six weeks. It is not allocated today, so presume it's still there.
That leaves 914 to do. 914 isn't out today so it may be there now.
I don't think the final four TFW Owned ones have started going in yet. (918, 968, 972 and 982)
909 has already been done. Was in between 16/06-29/07
Thanks for your comments, 914 shouldn’t be out. Iirc, it’s dispensation ran out at the end of last month. The other 4 have dispensation until the end of this year.913 was in, but is back out now. 935 went in on 17th Sept and they having been taking about six weeks.

Will they have full PRM modsThese four are going in when the rest have been finished
It must be 914 that has replaced 913 as the extra four have all been about today or very recently. 935 will be the next one to be finished, 909 was the fourth to be done and has been about for a while.

Thanks for the correction913 and 914 are both in the same group whose dispensation is both on the same letter dated 27 May and expires on 31 December 2021
175114 swapping tonight to end at Chester for refurb preparation so will be next in.I like 150283 will be good to see it in TFw livery
Looking at RTT appears to be a path on Friday 29 October from Chester to Widnes Transport Tech and back again. I guess this is going to be 175110 coming off from refurbishment, do we know which one of 175112 or 175114 will be next in?
I believe 2 will stay as /9s and have the same work as the other lite units and 2 will get the full works and go back to /3sWill 918, 968, 972, 982 get the full PRM mods like 303, 312 etc or will they stay as 9's like 906, 909, 910, etc. Thank yiu
