A reminder that this thread is for allocations of Class 195s. If you wish to discuss other aspects of the units the thread for that is here https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/northern-class-195-construction-introduction-updates.128808/
Could be. I was going to catch it but went on another train. When I looked on RTT about 0915 to see where it was it was saying 'Cancelled' after Piccadilly.IBeing 27L southbound at Picc makes me wonder why it wasn't terminated there, but it's likely there were considerations I don't know about
Being 27L southbound at Picc makes me wonder why it wasn't terminated there, but it's likely there were considerations I don't know about, and I'd be the first to say that this terminating prior to a booked destination does go a shade too far sometimes.
Possibly it is more mither to terminate on the through platforms (particularly at short notice) than it is to just keep it going? The through platforms can be chaotic even at the best of times in my experience
All units are the same today with the exception of 195117 which has been replaced by 195114 as 117 was facing some gremlins
I’d be very surprised if they’re not, I highly doubt Northern have left 7 units spare sat in position to take over againAre the units working Saturday services ?
good pointQuite a big design flaw then especially as the 195s will regularly be going to Manchester Airport!
On 1st July, the 1306 ex-Windermere and the 1530 ex-Airport (part of diagram 2) were worked by 118, not 117 per your advance information. I don't know what worked diagram 4 in place of 118.All units are the same today with the exception of 195117 which has been replaced by 195114 as 117 was facing some gremlins
On a sunday there are only 5 x 195's booked to work the ones at Allerton don't come out to play. Barrow/MIA/Windermere sees them.Although this is supposed to be via Bolton, when it runs (which seems far from guaranteed at the moment) I've seen it run by either route. It's the up working which becomes the 2210 Airport-Barrow which I often use to get home, so I pay close attention to it to see whether I'm going to need to make other arrangements.
The weekend timetable I have to confess I ignored altogether; partly since we don't know yet whether they'll be 195 operated (though I agree I can't see why they wouldn't be), but mostly because there are still so many disruptions to the Northern timetable at weekends that it's less a timetable and more a gaze into a crystal ball...

Two diagrams are being operated by 156s today (including that one). It seems that one, or maybe even two, of the 195s are not in traffic today, presumably with faults.09:29 Airport to Barrow has omitted East Didsbury AGAIN today - didn't it do that Monday or Tuesday? Slightly concerned now for next Monday's trip - maybe I should leave it until I have a Monday off later in the month/year?

Yeah. The unit I caught on the 2210 MIA - Barrow last night had a broken toilet (the guard couldn't work out what was wrong but thought it may have been the door) and was 10 minutes late because of a brake issue. So I'm willing to bet that's one of the ones out of service.06:48 Barrow to Manchester Airport - 156443
15:29 Manchester Airport to Barrow - 156455
15:16 Liverpool to Manchester Airport 195121 (Only 1 unit not 2)
So at least 3 195's missing in action (or should that be 'out of action'??
Today? (Friday)Circuit 2 being worked by a 156
Yep, saw it working 1C70 Man Airport-BarrowToday? (Friday)
Ah poo, that's me taking a different service home this afternoon then. Was it 1 x 156, or 2 x 156?Yep, saw it working 1C70 Man Airport-Barrow
1x156Ah poo, that's me taking a different service home this afternoon then. Was it 1 x 156, or 2 x 156?
Yep, not using that diagram then. That'll be purgatory.1x156
I must thank mikemcniven for the information supplied about the allocations of the 195s in #1. As more and more 195s enter service,will the list be expanded , or was that a one off ?
Does anyone have any info about the Ormskirk Preston service ? At present , its a pacer service;it seems to be part of a Preston/Ormskirk/Blackpool S/Colne diagram .
Wll that be replaced by a new 195 or another cascaded DMU ? Has a 195 used the lines to Ormskirk, Blackpool South and Coln yet ?
