350 403 is in LNR livery but still operating for TPE.
It certainly is. I was on it from Preston to Carlisle earlier, then had 397006 from Carlisle to Manchester Airport and back to Preston.

I am on 397006 working 1M97 1212 Edinburgh to Manchester Airport. The ride is a bit bumpy on the way to Carstairs. I have a 3 hour journey so glad it isnt a crambed 185.397006 on 1S38

including inside the cab
Normally the original driver and second man seating upholstery will match the rest of the train. Otherwise I’d have thought you’d have difficulty telling any 350 batch from another, or even from a 450...Didn't realise the cabs differed between TOCs. Imagined they'd be standard to that type of train. How extensive is the TOC branding? Is it just a few stickers, or does the whole cab go a different colour?
Just travelled from Bolton on a late runner to Picc (don't judge me!)
...litter everywhere...bins far to small
No signs indicating power points between seats (even Northern have managed that!) ..same as on 185's
First Class not labelled as such on windows or seats
One coach stifiling hot
Wi-Fi not working
Quite sad really as the interior itself has a nice ambience
Isn't Bolton a set down stop on the way towards MAN? Unless I'm wrong, how did you buy a ticket for that journey?
Just jumped on! Like I said....don't judge me! Was attempting humour ! I had ticket for relevant portion of the journey !Isn't Bolton a set down stop on the way towards MAN? Unless I'm wrong, how did you buy a ticket for that journey?
I think that's all TPE trains, first it takes ages to even sign in, then once you have it doesn't really work. You can use data between main towns and cities but between Lockerbie and Carstairs you are left without internet.Wi-Fi not working

That's odd, maybe it hasn't been fitted on the 397s, or maybe the connection keeps ending, like on the 390s who are also under First...Hi..wasn't even a Wi-Fi network!!
That's always my argument, you've got a ticket for a journey, you are boarding a train between those two stations. It's designed to reduce boarding but I'm sure its fine.Just jumped on! Like I said....don't judge me! Was attempting humour ! I had ticket for relevant portion of the journey !
Point of my post was to give an objective observation on said train !
Previous Northern canx as well !
Gonna be difficult stopping people getting on...Train arrives..open doors..stating Bolton and Manchester on side and Manchester on front....
Was a cracking run actually ! About 15 mins to Ox road where it terminated 45 mins lateThat's odd, maybe it hasn't been fitted on the 397s, or maybe the connection keeps ending, like on the 390s who are also under First...

How fast does it go between Bolton and Manchester? I would presume it gets stuck behind stoppers more often than not.
