Just seen 107 and 109 at Sheffield, looked like they were coupled together.
They visit Sheffield from Doncaster for fuelling.Just seen 107 and 109 at Sheffield, looked like they were coupled together.
Is there an updated list of 195 diagrams please?
Yep, only 6 more of the 3 cars units to come then it's the 2 car units, 195009 has been spotted in newport.I understand the latest unit to arrive is 195127.

There's five 3-car units left for delivery mate, 195129-133 are the ones outstanding.
When did 128 turn up?
Just seen it in your blog.Late last month I believe.
I can't be bothered to look back in the thread but when are the 195s going to start running on York to Blackpool North services
York Press reports that 195 introductions (with a picture of a 331) are to begin on Monday on Blackpool services. https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/17880006.northern-launches-new-trains-york/
CheersThis is what has been reported on the '195: Initial Diagrams' thread. There does seem to be some scepticism that it will happen, though.
195 001 on its own on the 1O42 0709
LIV-MCO stopper rammed to bursting (usually a double 150 or Pacer combo) and skipped it's Irlam stop. Guess they didn't have enough in service yet to put on a double but pretty poor showing. That is the one flaw in not being able to couple to their old stock but is a 2 coach 195 better? It was 10 late at Birchwood but then only 2 minutes late into Oxford Road, their good acceleration helping I'm sure.
The 0709 ex-Lime Street isn't a stopper, it's a semi-fast, hence the Class 1 designation. It's been booked for 2x195/0 since 12/8/19, but up to now it's as often been a single 195/1. A single 195/0 has been almost unknown.
The stopper is 0719 ex-Lime Street, that is the one which I suggest is diagrammed for a four-car Sprinter or Sprinter/Pacer.
You are right, they had switched the stopper to platform 5, and 195 001 formed the 0912 semi-fast. I did think the assignment of the bay platform was arbitrary at that time of the morning, surely the stopper should always use the bay but the train forming the 0912 is usually in the way.
Are 195s not allowed to use the bay platform then? It made sense not to bother clearing them when the Oxford Road remodeling/Piccadilly platform 15/16 was still on the cards.
Where at? Never been noted at Edge Hill.Late last month I believe.
128 was out on test last nightWhere at? Never been noted at Edge Hill.
I found it was a bit bouncy. TPE's 350's had better rail holding.Anyone else find them a bit "bouncy"? It could be the track but the ones I'm on are doing WCML, Wigan to Lancaster, I'd hope that was in a good state.
