First Silverlink '150' Refurbished

[whole diary]

quite correct EXE will be losing the pacers and gaining 150's once we get all the stroke 1's.although not sure if it will be a mix of 1 and 2's all class 150 or just the stroke 1's.obviously the level 5 stuff and T/T will still get done at SPM^▸ (St Philip's Marsh (Bristol depot)) though.

Care to explain 'level 5 stuff' and 'T/T'?

Thanks awfully

Guessing what was meant was level five exams (someone else can tell you what happens in those) and tyre turning, guessing EX doesn't have a wheel lathe.

Ta.

I was under the impression that exams were lettered rather than numbered. The 'T/T' makes sense though.

Apparently delivery of the new 172s that will enable the 150s cascade to FGW^▸ (First Great Western) is 6 months behind schedule because rooting of the exhaust system is causing back pressure on the engine and limiting speed to 45mph at the moment.

Level 5 is an old BR^▸ (British Rail(ways)) term (but sill generally used/recognised within the industry) for heavy overhaul work (C4 and C6 exams on DMUS).

T/T = Tyre turning

LM^▸ (London Midland - recent franchise) should release 150125 to us on 19/07/10 apparently.

level 5 stuff is different to the routine A and B exams etc,it refers to stuff like engine,transmission changes aswell as C4 work which is bogie,shafts and couplers etc.
then you have c6 work which is overhaull of interior stuff like door systems,relay renewal and interior fittings clean/repair or renew.
T/T is tyre turning.
At present EXE depot does not have any lifting equipment or a lathe to carry out these type of repairs
