Did a Crewe to Cardiff run about a month ago. Instead of the usual Class 175, the service ended up as 3 Class 150 units coupled together (forming a Manchester Piccadilly to Cardiff Central service) - uncomfortable wasn't the word.

Oh no i agree, as I remember the days of Class 37 with 4 carriages on the North Wales coast, and 3 car 101's down my line, the conwy valley!
Happy Days!

What are DMUs being used for on such long haul services? Mind you, multiple units always seem to be the thing for passenger trains, nowadays:-((! Again a bad specification (the DfT deserve a bash for this yet again!). Yes, a 37 or 33 would fit the bill better as things are (and would be smoother for the passengers, I'm sure)! All nice to watch as I rarely get out nowadays!

the front train was a 158...it must have been annoying for the passengers in the 150 and 153 to know that the people in the first 2 coaches where in a nice quiet air conditioned train up front! lol

I know what you mean, but the average punter just sees a box with seats in. If I had the choice I'd go for the 158, or the 153 at a (deasperate, last gasp) push, but Joe Public just wants to get to where they're going.
I must point out that my intro does mention that "I pity the fools that went to Bridgend in a 153/150!"
I personally am not a fan of 2nd gen units, but the 158s are a bit special.

No mate- It was going to the carriage shed for a fuel & water top-up, and left for Bridgend in S.Wales an hour later. Cheers for commenting!

To be fair, ATW have done an excellent job in refreshing their units now. 150/153's are MUCH more pleasant compared to what they used to be! And all the ex-FNW 154's have now left for EMT or FGW last week. Cheers

I agree, but they're no substitute for loco haulage. or a Class 120 'cross country' DMU!
