Class 150 to MetroCentre

150s don't operate in the North East

Class 153 to Carlisle.

Class 153 to Carlisle.

153s don't operate on the Tyne Valley Line

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

They have a single diagram with a 144. One way only, runs the other way as an ECS.

That definitely isn't the case; I've used that line regularly for the last 15 years and have never seen either a 144 or a 153 on the Tyne Valley Line. With the exception of the VTEC diverts in the Autumn (which are non stop between Newcastle and Carlisle), all passenger services are operated by 142s and 156s. There was talk of 158s taking over the line at some point, but this hasn't happened

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

142 then.

Class 185 to Windermere

Isn't the Windermere line now 153s and 156s?

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Isn't the Windermere line now 153s and 156s?

Mainly but 4 185s remain with Northern until next month.

I thought they only operated Manchester to Blackpool now, is this not the case?

Nah, they work interchangeably with all ex TPEx routes.

Sorry no, that was my fault. I only said 153 to M Apt because I hadn’t seen your post.

It’s 91 and yes, to Glasgow Central.

One service per day between Kings Cross and Glasgow Central is operated by a 91
