Far better than the single 150s that have appeared on the Holyhead services quite a bit recently

How many have been ordered?
Also, do you know how many are to be ERTMS fitted for use on the Cambrian lines?

The unit numbers are;
197001-051
197101-126

197003/22-41 are the ERTMS batch. 003/024 are the only one delivered and are based at Machynlleth for testing. Of the main batch of 2 car sets most are out in service now apart from 005/050 i think. Of the 3 car sets 101/104/110/111/112 are in service. A couple more are on mileage acceptance. None of the ‘Marches’ sets (113-126 i think) which include First Class have been delivered yet, may be some in storage or on delivery.
