wow i didn't know all units except some of the 150s had been done I knew about the remaining 175s though wont be much ATW evidence soon.
I’ve not been paying enough attention to this thread, only really knew about the 175s
Its definitely back out was on it yesterday.
This means 114 must be in now as I’m sure 112 is still out
Yes that Is correct 112 is the last Atw livery and interior 175.
And last train in use on the national network in Arriva’s original teal and cream.
are all the 150s not in that anymore thought there was a few of them too
Also the last unit to have evidence of FNW since the interiors weren’t fully refurbed under ATW only the seat covers and carpets
Still a few traces of lilac and turquoise in the cabs from their FNW days though as they are untouched.
Yippee! 79760 is the only vehicle* on which I've yet to travel!
Ive been on all 27 units but not noted carriage numbers but I know Ive not been on all 70 175 carriages so fair play for you to ride on all but 1 carriage.Yippee! 79760 is the only vehicle* on which I've yet to travel!
* In the 175 fleet, not the whole of the U.K.!
That’s one thing that’s annoying me as you can see the turquoise handles should have done the cabs but they’ll most likely get done when they go to their next TOC
Well the put the largest amount of colour in the wrong and least likely place on the 197s to be cleaned - the roof.
yes the class 150s when dirty in tfw livery look particularly bad one on Pembroke dock branch last week was covered in mud, it was more brown than white, also is it a common issue on the 150s that the red paint on the doors is coming off as this one had it ?Rather trivial, but the more I see of the 197s, the more depressing* and incomprehensible I find the 'Cloud Cover Grey' TfW livery, though the white on the 175s/BREL stuff is equally uninspiring and likely to look terrible once a little dirty. Shame they didn't go with Silver, which the concept images gave a bit of an impression of. It could have looked very smart, like a Red/Welsh variant of the Swiss BLS livery.
*Well, seeing a picture of one at Blaenau Ffestiniog on a typically overcast day was a very sad sight!
Probably as the doors slide inside rather than open outside the train like the 175s & 158s etc they will rub over time.
really does make them look old and tired
Reportedly, it's 150217.
I see DB’s 67013 is used sometimes, the same as 67010 and 67015. Must be when the main ones (67008, 014, 017 or 025) can't run?
