These things are a huge improvement on 01-99. Fantastic!! The only thing i can pick on is the fact that when the brakes release, they make a horrible squeal

Just leaves 107/111 to find. what they are doing is units that are quite new they keep together (122-123) for example but after a little white they mix them up i will keep an eye out for 107/111 for you

Just leaves 107/111 to find. I'm sure i've seen 107 out and about. Just can't be 100% sure. Also, OmnicityLondon's right, they are keeping numerical pairs in service together to start with. I know they kept 105 and 106 together alot, as with another couple of units, but like i've said before, much better than the original fleet. Also, why the hell do they have that squeal as the brakes are released on the new batch? It adds alot of character, but they end up sounding more clapt out than the older lot

I think that info is out of date, Because I can confirm that 101-132, 134. Are in service, 133 135 136 are awaiting its tests.
