are they being moved by rail or low loader from Bristol? And where are they heading?
Longsite or Newton Heath?
Longsite or Newton Heath?
Supposedly they are being dragged according to an earlier post. It'll be to Newton Heath, the 195s will have nothing to do with longsight, only the TPE CAF units will be based there (under a maintenance agreement with alstom)are they being moved by rail or low loader from Bristol? And where are they heading?

Edge Hill
I will keep an eye out for it appearing at Edge Hill then.Reported locally as going to Edge Hill which has road access to the depot.
Could be moved from there to Allerton.
So is it being sent by roadWell an end carriage literally just passed my house on a low loader (unfortunately too fast to get a picture- 30 seconds earlier and I'd have missed it completely!) so it's probably going to Allerton, M62 would likely be the route if it was being railed at Edge Hill.

As has been stated. It is going to Edge Hill. Not Allerton, Newton Heath, or Longsight. Edge Hill !!!!!
Are CAF using the depot to commission the units?I was wondering whether I was speaking a foreign language before. I’m glad this confirms I wasn’t! After all, the bit where I said CAF are making use of Edge Hill seems to be easy to grasp, no?
Especially when it's sat on the shed.

Yesterday!Shame its not going by rail!
Any ideas when it will get to Edge Hill
It was my understanding CAF and/or TPE had an agreement with Alstom for maintenance operations on the TPE units, but that Northern are going to do their maintenance in house.
So have plans changed somewhat. Are Alstom going to be doing the maintenance on them all? Or is this another sign of CAF's growing presence in the UK and they are going to gradually take over the Edge Hill depot with the Pendolinos displaced to Alstoms new Ditton facility?
There's nothing on RTT for it tomorrow, today's working was a Wednesday to Friday timing for this week only. I did note there's a path booked for MK.5 testing tomorrow, though...….Is it going to be out on Saturday (Tomorrow)
No Mk5 testing tomorrow but should be going to Stafford Sunday nightThere's nothing on RTT for it tomorrow, today's working was a Wednesday to Friday timing for this week only. I did note there's a path booked for MK.5 testing tomorrow, though...….
I take it the maintenance depot at newton heath to house the 195s isn`t ready or not built, are they for storage at edge hill until it is?
I can't be the only one who thinks the front looks awful can I?I read in a civil engineer publication that Stobart rail are to build a new depot extension at Newton Heath soon
That CAF unit does look good though - no?
