Excuse the pun but the bulk comes from Liverpool with a small amount from other places 1712690049 The 3 formations on the Knottingley circuit are normally a 158, a 150 and a pair of 150s. The 150s are on the via Wakefield's with a 2 hour round trip (the pair on the even hour out of Leeds with...

It probably worked for the exam schedule and the unit availability at the estimate for the line reopening now (excuse the pun) that has slipped further it probably requires the units to be removed from Barrow

Theyre in seperate cupboards because the 2nd part was an after thought and obviously the storage of them together couldn't be corrected for the 196/197s. During PTI testing for the 195s and early usage in traffic it was found that a small percentage of stations needed the extra part to stop the...

They run most services that way on everyday except Sunday anyway on the normal timetable

Most Skipton diagrams include a visit to all 3 points, Leeds, Bradford and Ilkley. Previous route round the triangle would go Skipton-Bradford-Leeds-Ilkley so within a couple of hours you've done the 3 points away from the depot

You leave Leeds and visit 3 places where you change ends and go somewhere different, same whichever place you start at

Only lasted 1 trip and they've been on Doncasters before on an ad hoc basis

I was waiting for you to pop up and put your inside view

They both came back stuck together back to Hull BG
