Seems that we’re getting there, albeit not as quickly as planned !
Re 195112, is it based on the east or west side ? I had got the impression that most of the remaining 195s were for the east to complete conversion of Leeds-Nottingham, Leeds-Lincoln and York-Blackpool, but then most (all ?) 142s seem to be working routes round Manchester. Is the immediate plan to release 158s etc. from the east and then move them west to replace the 142s ?
I think all the 195s will be based at Newton Heath but will rotate over to the east side where day to day servicing only will be done.
Prob out of date but i have 21 units not yet in service:-
195 005, 006/ 195 126, 128 Hudds/ Sheffield training,
195 014, 016-020, 022, 108, 127, 130 in store.
195 021, 023-025, 131-133 awaited.
Incidentally hows the glacial like progress on the new 195 shed at Newton Heath going.
