Doncaster to Newton Heath both cancelled as where the two paths Crewe to Neville hill.
Both cancelled.
What's the point of leaving them unbranded when they are painted in the new Northern livery anyway? 150133 was the same
Lack of stickers due to problems in the supply chain, perhaps?
Does it have the PIS screens in?
The new moquette is a huge improvement on the earlier cloth. Much brighter and far less grubby looking.
Don't think so. Forgot to check but it probably needs to be refurbed to be PRM compliant.
Only took them 2 years to realise what a mistake the filth-attracting cloth seats were!The new moquette is a huge improvement on the earlier cloth. Much brighter and far less grubby looking.
did you ride 150150 today?
Units / stock don't need to be refurbished to be PRM compliant. They only need to have the necessary modifications; which are a passenger information system with "next stop" etc functionality and interior and exterior visual displays and automated announcements, the new type door openable and closing sounders within the specified volume and pitch range, door controls low enough to be operated by a wheelchair using passenger, door buttons / handles in a high visibility colour e.g. yellow, compliant wheelchair space and accessible toilet with call for aid feature and flashing "door lockable" light, and fitment of toilet retention tanks, seemingly always with vacuum flush fitted at the same time. The unit / carriages can still be "unrefurbished" in the sense of otherwise tired condition, until its / their next overhaul
No.
Then how do you know it's not got PIS displays in?
See attachment further up, theres one of the interior
I don't get why Northern would PRM mod a class 150, reliverise it into unbranded Northern colours, paint the grab rails yellow and yet no PIS screens?
I know what you mean. I've been on a few refurbed Northern 150's (latest livery & seats) and some have the brighter interior with no PIS screens and others do. I think it was the 150/2 that had them and 150/1 that don't.
Not meaning to be rude or anything but I was replying to this post down below:
Which is why I replied with this:
as John C never mentioned anything about 150 150 having any PIS displays
I travelled all the way from Leeds - Southport on 150105 last week. The interior was clean. The seats were in excellent nick. Compared to a Northern unit, even a recently refurbished one, it was in superb condition. Northern units visit depots in exactly the same way units of all other TOCs do and whether they do 500 miles per day or 50 is irrelevant to how they are looked after or whether the TOC makes any effort to clean them or keep them in a decent state.
Which I just happened to snap a pic of in Preston today.(135)
