In summary, this thread states they've taken on the following in addition to the 150/0s and the toilet less 150/2 vehicles:

150108
150126
150101
150102
150122
150104
150106
150124
150125

150202
150216

Edited because numbers do actually up, they didn't seem to at first.

Just to try and keep the thread of thesee important developments alive, 150001 and 150106 were expected this weekend but the movement did not take place.   I have been expecting posts on sightings of the new incumbents, especially in Devon following the departure of the 142s.   Are 143s still working in Bristol area as a result ?

Well, I'm missing the 143s on the Severn Beach Line, although I may just have been unlucky in recent weeks! Last trip was a 150/2.

Saw 150104 doing Bristol Parkway - Weston Super Mare on Wednesday.

Well, unless my eyes deceived me, I saw the front of a 150 and two 153s working towards Bristol at Yatton last Wednesday?  Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) 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.

So does the 150's  (whichever variants they are, hopefully 3 car)  mean the end of 1st class on Basingstoke - Reading?

Not unless XC▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) alter their trains.   

But seriously, there's no reason 150s couldn't be altered to have a First Class section, especially if it was a 'Southern' style First where the only difference to the adjacent standard class is the antimaccasars...

And the two inward facing seats.  It's worth paying the extra just to seat in these...

150001 and 150126 moved this weekend from.   Pretty sure that is now the completed transfer.    SWT▸ (South West Trains) 158 no longer working the afternoon Brighton.

Is that 150126 correct, you mentioned 150001 and 150106 being outstanding a few posts back?

150001 and 150126 still at Tyseley today.   No driver available to move.   LM▸ (London Midland - recent franchise) cannot use otherwise they would have to pay hire charges now !!!

swt 158 still on hire, but reverted back to it's former Gol;den Valley Diagram.   According to SWT Carriage Workings until December next year !!!   Still if this can be agreed between the 2 Companies even taking into accouint hire charges. FGW▸ (First Great Western) have an extra Unit unobtainable through DaFT» (Department for Transport - critical sounding abbreviation I discourage - about)

back to the reading- bsk route... if its dedicated units and there is enough demand fgw may well see it as viable to put it some first class seating
