Does anyone know how long on average the refurbs of 150s, 158s and 3 car 175s are taking?
There is quite a difference in the 175 times. Record holder is currently 175113, done in only 24 days. 102 and 105 took 36 days. 116 took 39. 101 and 103 took 42 days. No idea with 104 as it was in having it's can rebuild

How many 175s are there left to do - I travelled on both a refurbished and non refurbished one yesterday and the ones not done are really looking bad now. I 'think' the number was 175106.

Unrefurbished ones in service are 175106-108/110-112/114-115.

150278 now in Pullman's Canton being worked on. That blows up the theory that the ex Wessex ones would be first for the treatment. Merely coincidence I should think.

You would’ve thought they’d go by condition - as of recent they’re an absolute state...

Are they removing the toilets or will the toilet on a 153/9 be available when the 153/9 is coupled to a unit with a UAT?

I'm not sure if there are plans to remove them altogether or not, but the toilets on 153/9s will need to remain locked out of use as they lack retention tanks.

I believe that it’s a lack of retention tanks that prevents them being used.

Beat me to it :D

The limited PRM mods happening on the 153/9s don't include fitting retention tanks then; thanks for the answer.

No problem. I suspect that the location of the original 153 toilets precludes the easy fitting of retention tanks - hence the PRM toilets being fitted at the opposite end of the unit.

It's probably (although I don't know for sure) more to do with the passenger door at the old bog end is far too narrow for a wheelchair user to use.

153 926 arriving at Landore this morning for its refresh.

153 906 is currently undergoing its refresh programme and is due for release at the end of May.

As discussed above, the 153/9's are not having a UAT toilet fitted and the existing toilet will be decommissioned / locked out of use. These units will then only run when fitted to a UAT compliant unit.

Back to the livery, 150278 as already mentioned, in Pullman's and 150257 outside seemingly waiting to go in. They are going through them thick and fast.

Is it a repaint or vinyl job? As based on pictures I’ve seen it looks to be vinyl on the cab front

Can we have an updated list please? I created it originally but someone decided to take it over for me a while back and therefore I don’t know the current status and cannot do it myself
