I'd like to know when maroon CCTs and other parcels vans began the paint transition from maroon to blue and by when was it complete? What years might it have been usual to see a mixed livery parcels train? Thanks in advance.
All stoppers operated by northern on the non-electrified CLC line between Manchester and Liverpool via Warrington Central are operated by Class 142s and150s with the occasional 156 showing up too.
Two power cars and six mk3 carriages weigh about 350 tonnes. The Lickey Incline is 3.2km long with an average gradient of 1:37.5.
How far will a train progress up the incline if it approaches the incline at 160kph and switches its engine into neutral at the start of the ascent?
