I know during one leaf fall season i saw a hybrid 158/156 , but these days there is so much difference between some 156's that they had there own sub class that makes it costly for 156/153/156 conversions .

I had heard a while back of the thought of them being reconnected back to Class 155 units similar to the ones for West Yorkshire (Metro) with the new cabs ends being plated over.
