Stock used on the Cleethorpes to Barton - upon - Humber line

[eastmidschris]

I thought the Barton and Humber line was supposed to transfer to EMT from Northern?

yes you’re right but the existing arrangement of crew hire-ins from Transpennine Express will continue

That's the plan eventually. But there is no definite timescale as to when this will happen, so it's still a Northern service for now.

That being said, at this time, EMR and Northern both provide a 153, and both units work in multiple. With TPE providing the crews to run them from Cleethorpes, that means it takes 3 companies to run the service!

that was correct until last week but now EMR provide both Class 153s for the branch daily.

Northern used to send the empties from Lincoln on the back of an EMR empty early morning. Now is it run by Northern, crewed by TPE using an EMR unit.

Thanks for clarifying I had seen a working or 2 with an EMR pair in the past few days so I did wonder
