Just three units left now with the original interior, and one of these is being done this week: 507017, 508111 and 508136.

I was on 508111 a couple of weeks ago and was thinking there can't be many units left with the old interior. It's a pity the floors haven't been replaced as there's one example (507018) I can think of that has a bubbled and cracked floor in at least one area. It seems a shame to refresh the interiors but not replace the flooring at the same time

RE: Merseyrail
The refresh was only meant as a stopgap measure so they decided to do just enough to make them look presentable until the new trains arrive .

I don't think bubbled and cracked floors are presentable personally

Potential trip or slip hazard?

Not really - it just looks untidy in my opinion

RE: Merseyrail
There lies the problem , anything that needs attention will get done as they need to keep the fleet at a certain level but no further cosmetic work after these three units will be done .
We are marching towards the new fleet ever quicker , what is the next mile stone for the new fleet ?

The LCR votes any day now to pass the resolution authorising the purchase (which is just a formality) and the anniuncement of what we are getting from the winning bidder will be made towards the end of the year.
I am getting quite excited now about what we are going to get. The funny thing is when yiu read through the consultation document what people conplained most about was the heating!
