Title: First 143 into 'Refresh' Post by: Sprog on September 10, 2008, 11:22:49 143617 is now at Wabtec Eastleigh for C6 exam/C4 exam & Refresh. This is the first member of the Class to undergo the work.
I am not sure on the Specification of the work yet, but it will be in the works for approximately 4 weeks. Title: Re: First 143 into 'Refresh' Post by: Chris from Nailsea on September 10, 2008, 21:08:59 No chance of it disappearing into a black hole, I suppose? ::)
Seriously, thanks for the information, Sprog! ;) Any idea of the timescale for the whole 143 fleet being refurbished? Title: Re: First 143 into 'Refresh' Post by: John R on September 10, 2008, 22:16:21 Not talking about Bedminster again are we? ;D
Title: Re: First 143 into 'Refresh' Post by: Chris from Nailsea on September 11, 2008, 00:36:55 No, John, I certainly wouldn't wish that fate on Bedminster station - but the 143s ... ? ::)
Actually, Bedminster station has seen worse days - recently, some efforts to tidy it up and clean it have been apparent (which is more than happened before FGW took it over, to be fair).
