Take it as read all the working ones were accompanied by a minder.
As an aside I had / saw my first 195 to Dewsbury. 195 109 worked the delayed 21:17 Leeds to Manchester Victoria via Dewsbury and Brighouse rather than the usual 158. I was surprised because I had been told just before Christmas by a Northern employee that 195's were not cleared for Brighouse. Clearly they are now so I assume this means more surplus 158's to cascade downwards...
Many thanks, very usefulAny idea when it started ?
I can confirm that a 142 was on the Kirkby to Manchester Vic route yesterday. It was on the 12:35 from Kirkby.Sadly not. I suspect one more may have been on the Kirkby / Wigan route as I didn't see all the sets working this route.
December TT change.Any idea when it started ?

Many thanks. Not many out today. Saw none on Rose Hill / New Mills services and none on Kirkby line. 011 / 036 / 055 / 078 were on Blackburn and Clitheroe to Rochdale with minders. There were 7 on NH visible from passing trains with only 004 / 041 / 043 / 047 /058 identifiable.
With available units on depot , why arn't Northern Rail giving these people a seat....like they've paid for142078 was on the rear of a 2 car Class 158 on the 18:41 Manchester Victoria to Clitheroe today.
The 10:35am Kirkby to Manchester Victoria was short formed today with a single 150/2. Usually on a Saturday it is a 150 and 142.
There were quite a lot of cancellations today; the 11:55 Manchester Vic to Wigan Wallgate was cancelled due to 'more trains than usual undergoing maintenance'.
The 18:00 Stalybridge to Manchester Vic was cancelled. The 18:26 Manchester Vic to Kirkby was cancelled due to 'problems with lineside equipment', as was the 20:10 Wigan Wallgate to Blackburn. All of the Southport services that I saw were only two carriages and very full.
