Northern Class 195: Initial Diagrams

[Mex I can]

I was putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5, assuming it was a training run for Leeds to Nottingham via that route. That train didn’t appear on RTT, so I thought it couldn’t have been a normal stock move or a scheduled service .

Training runs should appear on RTT the same as any other movement. The following seems to fit the bill.

That would be it, I wasn’t expecting it to have come from Doncaster.

195121 today(Good Friday) worked the 15.17 Leeds-wigan Wallgate.. returning with the 17.56 from Wigan.Possibly the first 195 on the Leeds-wigan service although not the first on the Salford Crescent to Wigan via Walkden route due to diversions and ecs moves.

It's been named and has something instead of the 'Northern' writing.... Can't post the pic.

If no one photos it Thursday and it’s in Manchester Friday, if you know what it’s on I’ll get a photo.

I'm not completely sure how long it's retaining what's gone over the Northern writing so get it quick

Could Northern get away with using only 195s and 158s now given that so few services are operating? At least give key workers a decent train and cooling air con after their long shifts. (If the AC works in the 158!)

On the diesel services no as you’d create a maintenance backlog - Remember that they’d probably do a similar mileage but with less maintenance staff. It’s better to spread the work even amongst all of the fleet to reduce the chance of trains being taken out of service.

 

[The Northern Star]

It's a unit per region... not because of what needs exams etc....

For those that dont know, some Northern units have ' Thank you NHS ' on sides.
There was an item on local TV news after reporting the clapping tonight.(yes I was outside clapping )
