Glad I'm not going blind, still able to read unit numbers at a closing speed of 120+mph! Just thought I'd ask as it's not listed on the front page as being done.

323223 is in full Northern livery, had a peek at it on Longsight on Thurs but it was still waiting final touches (numbers etc). Looks fine.


Is it a proper paint job or vinyl?

Looks like proper paint to me. I didn't ask though as I wasn't really supposed to be in there :o

I THINK 153351 has also been done, on the front of 1524 MCV - LDS.

Anyone able to confirm?

Hopefully the proper numbers are back in as 142089 has 142033 style numbers but they look different, must have ran out last week.

I remember when 150145 was first done (in 2005?) the unit numbers on the front were scrawled on in black marker, it looked like a 5-yr old had done them, no exaggeration.
