Title: Two plus Three seating in class 150? Post by: grahame on May 10, 2025, 13:18:55 From my visit to Cornwall last month - I recall (but didn't get round to reporting) a class 150 carriage with 2+3 seating - whereas my old recollections are of 2+2. Can someone fill me in ... Thanks

I did think this was the blunt ended 150/0 series only. Someone else may know better.

I have looked back at my pictures, and I suspect the carriage with 2 + 3 was part on 150202. Did it miss the refurb? Was it a later arrival? Title: Re: Two plus Three seating in class 150?

It was away for quite some time in 2022 for a major exam and overhaul but came back in the same layout but reupholstered.
