RE: Abellio East Midlands Railway
Could the 153s be used just as unpowered centre coaches without cab equipment to guve extra capacity on 156s where trains are currently formed of 2 coaches to create hybrid 3 coach sets.

I know during one leaf fall season i saw a hybrid 158/156 , but these days there is so much difference between some 156's that they had there own sub class that makes it costly for 156/153/156 conversions .

I had heard a while back of the thought of them being reconnected back to Class 155 units similar to the ones for West Yorkshire (Metro) with the new cabs ends being plated over.

Despite the reduced service virtually every train to Liverpool is a 2-car today - and there should be spare Meridians too as all the planned atachments to St. Pancras are suspended.

The Liverpool to Nottingham part of the service to Norwich seems to be the part no one really wants , it seems to be resources heavy.
Previously the DfT had tried to palm Liverpool to Nottingham off to another operator which puts EMR in a sticky situation as they dont now to seem to have enough units.
