350105 and 350108 (I think!) have the interim livery. It was whichever units were on this last night. They were at more or less top speed as they passed me south of Crewe:

The 350/3's arent getting a full refurb. Only 1 luggage rack being fitted. No new carpet and retain green seats. New plug sockets fitted and the under table ones being removed. Also screens fitted as per 350/1's.

Can also confirm 350104 is delivered. On Kings Heath this afternoon.

Are these the ones where the seating isn't threadbare then?

Thats a very odd decision as usually all trains are brought up to the same standard as refurbished ones with new operators? Dosent make sense if you ask me

323220 back from refurb and DDA toilet fitting. Leaves only 323205/41/43 to do. 350104 is an oddball. In new livery but not refurbished AFAIK.

Don't know when it happened, but MK Central has now got *some* LNWR running-in boards. These are affixed to the tiling of each waiting room on the platforms. However, the external signs (which are backlit IIRC) are still in LM, similar to the setup at Watford Junction. Some of the signage has yet to change at the station as well.

323243 now back from DDA mods and 323241 gone in for work to be done. That leaves 1 unit, 323205 which is no surprise as it has the experimental lighting throughout. They are probably trying to figure out how they will do it when the toilet are re-modelled.

I believe 323205 experimental lighting is being removed. The unit is also receiving a over-haul aswell while it's done there so that's why it's taking longer for that to come back to the West Midlands.

Are there any more refurbished 350/4 units? Apart from 350401.

Have all 350/1 completed the refurbishment?

The first 3 car WMR 170 has been disbanded at Tyseley. 170635's centre car is on a low loader, awaiting forward movement to ??.

Unit has been renumbered 170535 as a consequence.

I’m guessing either Toton or Stoke where XC’s 170s were refurbished.
