175116 is now back in service fully repainted and refurbished.
The only 3 car not out today is 175113 so presumably thats at Widnes although not 100%.

Are they really diagramming 15 out of 16 units for service each day? That's really sweating the assets if so; a few years back I seem to recall reading that 9 out of the 11x 175/0s were diagrammed (meaning 2 in for maintenance/exam) so would expect there to only be 13 or 14 diagrams for 175/1s.

More based on the whole 175 fleet. A 3 car could be covering for a 2 car. There's usually at least one at Alstom each day for maintenance.

Unless I'm not up to date, there are 10 x 175/0s and 14 x 175/1s diagrammed per day. Going back some years now and to help to meet demand, Alstom agreed to increase 175/0s by one up to 10 Mondays to Fridays but to remain as Maintanance Saturdays and Sundays. Anyway we are going off the livery topic here.

All references to class 175s are by unit number, rather than individual coach numbers. The last update on formations that I have has numerous mis-formed units. The question is - have the units been correctly reformed as part of the refurbishment process, or are they still all mixed up?

Thanks. I was afraid that that might be the case.
What difference does it make to passengers, and does it really matter?

As far as people know is the plan still for the full 175 fleet to have left TfW by mid-2022? What is some units are still in the ATW colours by early 2022 - will these also be repainted or just the inside refurbished?

At the rate the refurbishment’s going for the 175s I highly doubt that will happen - if any stock were to be in ATW livery by that point it would be the 150/2s.

They are taking around 4 weeks, including the one in for refurb now there are 13 left to do so approximately 12 months so barring a big slow down they should all be done and back in service by this time next year.

Shall I answer that with another question. Will the CAF replacements be in service on time ?

I'm guessing 175103 should be out anytime in the next week or 2 as its been nearly a month. I wonder what the next one will be?

I remember TfW saying the 150s would be painted with a new interior back in august and it still hasn’t happened. Does anyone know if the 150s will still be getting a makeover anytime soon?

The 150 refresh program is being delayed until January next year.
