We're losing a 153 to Northern in December! but don't worry, we're getting one of their 153's in return, bit of a pointless swap really? but 318 is gutless so they're getting a crap one!

Swapping an Angel 153 for a Porterbrook 153? |

Swapping an Angel 153 for a Porterbrook 153? Fair play I suppose. |

Which I see Northern are now being told to bring out of storage as they aren't going to get the FGW▸ 158s after all, only some centre carriages from ex Central trains 158s with the FGW units being shared between Scotrail and East Midlands trains. Though as its the Dft making these decisions on who gets what expect that to change. |

I think we should form a human chain at the entrance to the depot preventing the 158's from leaving (excluding the FGW staff as obviously we don't want you all getting sacked!) |
