Do wish Northern would look after these new trains between services. An absolute disgrace how some of these units look at 6 o'clock in the evening.
That would have been a much better livery than the TfW 'paint the doors red' one.View attachment 74368 View attachment 74369
Looks like a driving end of a Northern 195 unit received an interesting welsh dragon wrap today at the opening ceremony of CAF’s Newport Factory.

it doesn’t help that the bins are the size of a shoebox and not clearly visible
I thought the attitude to bins on the railway was to not have them if it's at all possible because of the chance terrorists can put bombs of other things that can do harm in them
I've complained about the lack of bins or visibility of to Northern shortly after they were introduced. The bin was a major flaw (alongside lack of overhead grab rails) as they'll just get trashed within a few years.I thought the attitude to bins on the railway was to not have them if it's at all possible because of the chance terrorists can put bombs of other things that can do harm in them

Am I right in thinking that Northerns traincrew depot for Wigan is at Wallgate and not North Western?
Several times I've used a 195 back to Rochdale from Victoria and the screens have shown "platform exits to the left" (when facing forwards) several times before being corrected to "right". Same at Halifax I think. A partially-sighted colleague asked if there should also be an announcement as this would be helpful but I guess not.Leeds to Hebden Bridge on one of these earlier. Announced we were shortly to be arriving at Bradford Interchange about three minutes after we’d left, and approaching Halifax we (wrongly) got the “platforms aren’t long enough” announcement.

Prob not. I've amended my post.Did 021 enter service before being derailed on Edge Hill? It's currently back in Wales.
The PIS is not working on 111. Totally black screen. I guess it's not as new as it looks from the top!
It could be just that's it's not set up. There are still issues with some headcodes not being accepted.The PIS is not working on 111. Totally black screen. I guess it's not as new as it looks from the top!
