229 had the destination City Line on both ends yesterday, driver obviously thought he was being cleaver.  Cheesy
I thought the Arriva units were really uncomfortable, the seats had hardly any leg room, left you feeling claustrophobic and had no arm rests.
The 150/1's are much more comfortable even though they have the same seating layout.
And when Central rfurbished those 150's they hardly did anyhting, only looked like new seats and that was it, Intermediate Door Controls were only fitted by Arriva just before coming to us, a pretty bad refurb by Central.
Also of note 158760+153372 formed the 06:48 BTM (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI))-PNZ to make me happy.  Grin

I bet the drivers are having a right laugh confusing the passengers.
City Line was quite clever with Truro being the only city in Cornwall.
There is a 142 going to Stockport aswell.

 Central had those units for about 5 minutes.

Those refurbs were done during the 10 years they were at Anglia

150229 formed the 0905 Nailsea to Taunton service this morning, but the destination board was (rather disappointingly) just 'Taunton'!  I was hoping to see 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch' at the very least!

I rather liked the Arriva TW refurb / livery, though - but only from what I saw of it, from the opposite platform.

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Inside is like the Silverlink 150/1's but with less comfortable seats and less leg room, I didn't like it at all.
