333006 has moved from Broughton Road, presumably to Neville Hill as its not in service and 007 is in its place with what appears (from a distance) to be no front/rear PIS screens

Seen a report of a timing on Wednesday for a Northern 156 from Heaton to Kilmarnock. Is this to bring 150218 back, if not which unit is going up and for what. MTIA

When did 156402 go to Heaton I'm sure I only saw it the other week stabled at Newton Heath Depot?

Diligent Dave reported, on 27/5/25, that 402 was due to head to HT for bogie / wheelset attention. Presumably more "structural" work is needed, hence it heading to Kilmarnock today?

Noted 156460 is now working off Heaton, having gone there last Friday, and immediately used in service as soon as it landed. Is this instead of 156441, which was the NH 156 that was anticipated for a transfer to the North East a few weeks ago now, or just a temporary loan?

Yes, appears to now be a Heaton unit.

A welcome addition certainly. Heaton could do with more units. The Durham Coast line is rammed at weekends. Resulting in many passengers being left behind at the stations due to overcrowding.

Does anyone have a video of the Tfx announcemnts onboard do they sound muffled like every other Tfx unit, or clear as a bell?

Hopefully I'll try & make a run to doncaster on Monday to get the original announcenents before lose out on the chance

& finally, when will 333007 be back out?

Is 323243 likely to make an appearance prior to the internal refurbs starting?

Also, anyone know what's up with 323230 - been missing for a few months?

Northern have been short forming North West routes this week, resulting in passengers left behind.
Certainly a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

323243 is one of the five which need digital train upgrades which has started again, 323241 was noted to be in for the work currently.
