Apparently some of our 158's are going to Scotrail, (some of the ones that were meant to go to Northern), which is another First company!!! something fishy going on?? 158855 and a couple of others are already with Northern.

East Midlands Trains will get three of our 158's. Northern will get 14. And Scotrail will get seven from Northern, probably ours.

Of the 14 going, only 10 are actually with FGW▸ , the other 4 have been on short term leases to Scotrail and Northern. |

Will FSR▸ now sublet them to FGW▸ ? Until recently weren't we subletting one to FSR from here? |

And yes we were subletting one to FSR and they had two emergency 158's off Angel to cover for units on refurb. |

Where are they booked towork? And that means the two trains from Bristol are 150-no luggage and the midday departure from Penzance which connects to London is 150-no luggage absolute nightmare, that trains a nightmare with a 158. |

What a stupid decision. Looking at the strengthening diagrams for Bristol I am mythed to read that a number of services are strenghthened with a 158 for a short commuter route. Should be 150s. Have FGW▸ forgotten about the far south west? 142s, lack of 158s... |

The only one i'm not sure abou is the 06xx from BTM▸ , it was a 150 today but not sure if it's booked as that? the other two diagrams are definately booked 150's though! seen the diagrams! |

Where's the furthest west a 158 goes? And if the midday from Penzance is 150, so is the 06xx from bristol, same unit. |
