Southerner here.
I spent yesterday meandering around Merseyside and Greater Manchester on 195s, and their sister 331s.
I thought they rattled a bit, for new units, but otherwise were fast, bright, and comfortable. I am tall, but had sufficient legroom in the airline seats.
Whilst TPE were falling apart, with large numbers of cancellations, every Northern service I wanted ran, with no lateness, and had sufficient capacity. Not quite what I was expecting following the ‘Northern crisis’ narrative, but maybe the bigger problems are east of the Pennines?
