Not everyone who posts on here is going to be able to say where they work... people may have lots of inside info but can't say (for obvious reasons) so you're probably best not dismissing people just on the grounds that they can't confirm to you where they have the info from. Note I don't work for Northern but have worked fairly intensively on working out unit diagrams so know a fair bit about the operations.
What I was trying to say, perhaps rather badly was unless theres a better source of fleet info lets all appreciate what 507021 kindly let us see each month.
I agree with you there
It will be going back in to works at some point to get the digital bits and pieces. And no, the tables are not changing.
It would have been 2E01 0545 MCV-LDS
Seems a bit of a waste of time, but there you go - I'm not a planner for Northern (there's not enough whisky in the world to get me to take that job!).
As the doors are near the ends of the carriages, they aren't too bad. 150s are far worse for that.
It's a mix of time pressures (the PRM deadline at the end of this year) and the finalisation of the various elements of the refurbishment programme; versus the number of vehicles nationally to be PRM'd and the workshop capacity.
Thanks
Paths not taken up.
Only the Heaton to Brush path taken up. Prob a Perkins engined 158.
158843, leaving the former scotrail 158s and 158/9 family to do.
IIRC theres about 17 class 150s left to do
I too am puzzled by this. You would think the man at the top would be more accurate.
ah, but did he actually write it? These types of comms messages are quite often written by a PR-type person on behalf of the person whose name is at the bottom…
