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

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!
Thanks for clarifying I had seen a working or 2 with an EMR pair in the past few days so I did wonderthat was correct until last week but now EMR provide both Class 153s for the branch daily.
