Plan is to only use 153s paired up. Article mentions additional 153s being received from Porterbrook with accessible toilets - I wonder if this means a 153 with an accessible toilet being permanently attached to one without.

Network Rail refused ATW permission to use 158s on Wrexham-Bidston but don't seem to have any issues with 153s being used.
