When I was down in that area earlier this year, I was very impressed although I fear that Northern will make them similar to the interiors of the 319's. I hope to be proved wrong.
The interior refresh is being done in stages
I am not sure whether it has been asked before,
which class 150, apart from 150124, will be coming to Northern?
All the 150/1s from GWR and LM plus the 2 150/2 orphan cars that are being swapped for a northern 150/2.

I'm not sure if it's set in stone. Some of the changes were dependent on whether the GWR franchise got extended and while Grayling hinted at that this week, I don't think a formal extension has been agreed between DfT and GWR.
Does anyone know what has been causing the Signal problems in/near Marple over the last month or so? Judging by the four weekly reports, ATN/Network Rail are in denial about these.

2018 fares are now available on nationalrail.co.uk
Almost a 7% increase in the Knutsford to Manchester Off-Peak Day Return and an increase of over 10% for Knutsford to Altrincham and Lostock Gralam to Northwich, despite Northern postponing the planned December 2017 improvements!
