A quick Wikipedia check, a Northern Class 195 can accelerate at 0.83 m/s(Squared) and a TPE 185 is 0.49 m/s(Squared) so the 195s accelerate 40% faster.

Used my RBS Visa card in a Chipkaart machine from when I went last Feb. No problems.

They do. TVMs in Leeds http://imgur.com/a/oyO84

Especially their weather reports, either completely inaccurate, or telling us of a heatwave while we are already out in it.

So technically most of a class 185 users have to use the cramped toilet instead of walking through first class to get to the bigger toilet past first class?? ;) In all my travels on 185s, I have never had a problem walking through to get to the loo.

A satnav is going to be the more accurate to measure your speed. A cars speedo is allowed to over estimate your speed but never ever underestimate. If your satnav is showing higher than your cars speedo, you have a problem.

Just had a 153 this morning on the commuter train between Huddersfield and Wakefield. Rammed to the gills and the seating is so cramped. I normally complain when a 142 comes in, but i would rather have had it back.

Well I must have looked good on their statistics. Only 3 weeks signing on, and got a job through no help of theirs. They spent an hour showing me how to look for jobs on the universal jobmatch site which is full of charity muggers and PPI call centre roles. All with 'meets minimum wage'...

Thanks for that. I had a Merseyrail seating 142043 this morning. All a lot of fun with the schoolkids rammed in...

As a commuter along that stretch I would like to know too. Nothing on any internet searches I do every so often. BTW, if you happen to be on the 17:50 back to hudds, hello!

I signed on for the grand total of 3 weeks nearly a year ago, and got a job in Leeds (Live in huddersfield) and wouldnt be able to afford the train fare for a month until first payday. Rang Jobcentre to sign off and enquired about a loan to get me to work. They went above and beyond a loan...

As im from huddersfield I assumed Lost Property was a thing at all stations. So if something is lost in Windermere or Scarbrough, it ends up in a pokey room in Hudds?

You sure it was Rugby, as at our rugby matches there is one or two officers sat in a corner eating hotdogs.

No rest days?

But it is something Kirk or Spock would use to confuse a computer.
