We recently asked Transport for Wales about progress on ‘ Persons with Reduced Mobility’ upgrading of Sprinter Classes 150 and 153. They have now replied.
In summary, 150s were complete in 2019 and also part of the fleet of (26) 153s. Of the remaining 13 153 units that are not compliant, 9 will be converted in 2021 and 4 retired.
TfW confirm that these non compliant units are never operated singly and are always coupled to a fully PRM-compliant class 150 or 153.
These units have now been renumbered into the 1539xx number series to ensure they are readily identifiable
