Is it still just the two Classs 43 sets in the new GWR▸ livery? There were two green power cars sandwiching a rake of old-scheme FGW▸ carriages at Swindon earlier today.
Yep LA15, LA16 and 43/005/041/187/188 However for some reason the powercars seem to keep being split from sets! |

There do seem to be an increasing number of green 165/166 dmus though or have I just been in the right place at the right time?

Yes, they're all going over to Wolverton slowly for a new lick of paint (and door modifications and universal access toilet fitment).

What about the ones that were already redone in royal blue before the change to green was decreed? |

I expect they'll get done at the end, possibly locally as the other mods won't be required.

Without the upholstery change I presume (well, the two that I have experienced were still blue on the inside). |

Yes, the seat covers were reasonably new, so I should imagine they'll not be replaced for a while.

At least One of the green 150s has retained a blue interior.

I've been in a fair few of the green Turbo's, all of which have had the 'old' interior.

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

I was saddened when I saw a green 150 indicating that these derelict wrecks were doomed to serve the Reading <-> Basingstoke line for some years to come. |

I don't think they're all that bad. They serve south Devon well, and the Devon ones are in quite good condition after their interior refurbs
