how hasn't 115 not run out of fuel yet?
There should still be the 5th carriages for the Mk4 sets there
Could not make out any MK4's as there was an abundance of 175's, that's not to say there was no MK4's lurking out of sight somewhere. The past few months the remaining MK4's were normally stabled in the sidings close to the main line but they seem occupied by the 175's. Saying that the increasing vegetation doesn't help visibility when one is passing by train, I well remember the days when the whole depot was unobstructed both front and to the rear along the avoiding line.
Yes, there are some sat with the Voyagers looking a dreadful state
Shows how big the fuel tanks are if it takes weeks to empty idling.
Why was it idling for weeks?
One things for sure it was a waste of fuel and bad for the environment, weeks idling no productive use that's absolutely ridiculous.
Would have been easier just emptying the tank and re using the diesel in another unit must have been a genuine mistkae.
A very expensive, costly mistake, surely?
I beg to differ! Gloucester to Cardiff is taken over by 170s, makes a nice change when a 150 or a 158 turns up at Gloucester!
Interesting, why would he do that ?we can assume he wasn’t instructed to do that, so, if he had have gone and switched it off and it was running for a reason then, he’d be in trouble.
Perhaps, though my experience with certain trains that aren't 175s is that they can be put in such a condition that the timer doesn't operate.
Great, I'll see it at Nuneaton then..Thanks for the info!
Not sue how you can prefer a 150 to the superior ride quality and comfort of a 170, a 158 yes, a good alternative.
Gosh, one can tell from this that you're not served by the 150s regularly. As someone who gets solely 150s at the local station, I cannot wait for them to pee off elsewhere!
Oh believe me I am, I'm Cardiff born and commuted daily on them to and from college!!
Probably just getting old and not used to as much long distance work (both towards Manchester & also towards Holyhead).
