I dont know, did you get a number? There are currently 20 Central-livered 158's with East Midlands Trains at Nottingham and 4 Central-livered 158's with Northern Rail at Neville Hill. No 158's are listed as being in storage.

Title: Re: Central livered 158 at BTM Post by: Jez on March 28, 2008, 21:37:34 Apologies for going off topic slightly but I remember ATW used to have one, or possibly a few, ex Central trains 158'S. They remained in the green livery for quite some time. Not sure if they were refurbished or sold on to another company?

East Midlands Trains 2-coach Class 158 unit, leased from Angel Trains, normally based at Nottingham. Title: Re: Central livered 158 at BTM Post by: smithy on March 29, 2008, 09:23:10 as jim said some 158's from east midlands have gone to salisbury depot,i think for heavy maintainance?
