oh i never responded to this.

i'm not confident but my best guess would be a class 158. transport for wales red handle and a carpeted floor with signs of wear. the other tfw sprinters (classes 150 and 153) and class 230 don't seem to have carpeted floors in their refurbishments. the class 197s, 231s and 756s are much newer and use a different carpet. it could be a 175 but at time of posting they are out of service.

so yeah

most confident: 158

second guesses: 150, 153, 175

My spinning wheel is going on an extended holiday with @trueishcolours!

Step 0, too tragic to photograph aka I forgot: dramatic goodbye between this wheel and the miniature music box spinning wheel

Step 1: lift to the train station courtesy of @hebrideansky! Wheel fits perfectly in a dog crate, if you have the perfect sizes of wheel and crate.

Step 2: who needs a folding wheel when you can just sort of hook it over your shoulder around town while you buy out the bakery of all their cherry scones

Step 3: we are aboard and pretending to be a bicycle! (The heater is off, I checked.) One person asked questions on the platform but there have been surprisingly few weird looks. @identifying-uk-trains-in-posts here's one for you if you like

very distinct shape, 170s are the only turbostar to have carried this livery.

It's been 15 years since one of the best scenes of Doctor Who 😭😭

green pole, unique moquette and you can see the district line signage in the back.

these passenger information boards are only found on class 323s and some class 158s. luggage rack does not match that of a 323 so its a 158.

[identifying-uk-trains-in-posts]

800s and 801s with LNER furnishings have identical interiors so it could be either. They're the same model of train so I'd be surprised if there is any difference.

i remember seeing a post about gimmick blogs like these don't provide any info on how they identify things so i might go back and elaborate on some previous ones at some point

[identifying-uk-trains-in-posts]

br class 158 sprinter. east midlands railway one with the jank ass info screens that suck ass.

BREL Class 321, withdrawn from Greater Anglia. Most have been scrapped or stored and some were attempted to be converted into parcels trains but the project was abandoned. The similar Class 320 are still operating around Glasgow if you want to ride one.

@identifying-uk-trains-in-posts Any help, found at Crewe and I think I'm in love.
