If you want to have a nosey inside one:
Granted, it's not a very good vid but at least you can see what's changed.

Thanks for that, looks pretty good. Shame I cannot remember what the seating plan was like before; I notice at least one table bay (the first one on the right in the second coach) is aligned with a window pillar. Is that something that's changed or have they been that way since the ATW refurb?
I've now had a look at the fleet data tables and it appears that the spec is "Refurbishment of HVAC system to provide fully functioning air conditioning" so it seems you are correct that it's not being replaced. I hope it works, "fully functioning air conditioning" sounds good.

There were some tables lined up at window pillars in the ATW units

All the ex-Arriva and GWR ones, yes. There are a handful in ex-GA & EMT.

The ex GWR and EMT ones aren’t being refurbished as they are being withdrawn at the end of the year.

Are you sure? I'm sure I've just seen it poking out of Landore? Unless there's another 153 there.
All of the ex-GWR ones have been refurbished. 153361 was the last I believe.

Definitely 153362. Photographic evidence on Facebook passing through Pontyclun

I stand corrected then! Didn't think any others were still at Landore!
153333 ran down the other day, not sure why.

Wonder why. It was the first one to get new livery and PRM. Could be some bodywork problem

Was that not 153325?

Second perhaps
One of the first anyway153333 didn't stay long. It returned this afternoon with 142010 and 142073 which had been waiting parts, so could have been acting as "insurance"

Is it me or do the 175s in the old ATW livery now look outdated? The new TFW livery looks so much smarter on them. Also they all seem to be a little unclean on the outside!
I was on one today travelling from Manchester Airport to Piccadilly and noticed that there were lilac purple plastic panels along the interior - is this a hangover from the FNW days?

They do indeed look dated.
With regards to the panels I would say they are FNW as I've seen ex-FCC trains with pinky purple ish panels still so it's a safe assumption.
See this shot of an ex-FNW 175 here with said panels and even seats!

Thought as much - definitely more of a First colour than an Arriva colour!
Amazed they've kept them for 16 years.

Indeed it is, but things don't get replaced unless absolutely necessary I suppose.

Until ATW did a comprehensive refurbish of their 158s (around the time they were fitted with ERTMS, so ~2010), they still had the dark/light blue stripe of Regional Railways along the underside of the luggage racks!
Same with Northern - the stripes lived on into 2020
