150231 was with 158838 on 0825 Manchester Airport to Holyhead. I had only ridden the unit once previously and that was on 18/05/2010 from Cardiff Central to Cardiff Central to Cardiff Queen Street 0.70 miles. 150231 rode much better than any of the three 197s that I rode that day. Also it was very comfortable with its high back seats and softer cushions. It is still in North Wales today on a Crewe to Holyhead service.
