Refurbished
Sprinter 150 unit No. 150 017 is rolled out at Tyseley
- 15 March 2006
Central Trains proudly unveil the first refurbished 150
unit for use on
the Snow Hill Lines Services- including the Shakespeare
Line.
A rolling programme of refurbishment of all the Centro
Area Tyseley-based 150's is to be undertaken in the coming
18 months.
How
To Spot a Refurbished 150
Over recent months, Central Trains
have been repainting Centro Area 150s in the new
Centro/Central Trains livery. So passengers might
mistake a repainted (unrefurbished) 150 for a refurbished
150. We show you how to spot the newly refurbished
units........
Externally, passengers can spot the newly refurbished
units by taking a look at the lamp cluster on the
unit ends. Internally, you will see a clean fresh
look.
