Trivia: Which Station Sees Most Variety Of Passenger Rolling Stock Calling/Passing?

[Statto]

At Manchester Piccadilly last week on a 323 going to Glossop, in front of a 142, struck me then the variety of the passenger rolling stock that calls at the station, on any day you can see
DMUs 142, 150, 156, 158, 175, 185, 220, 221
EMUs 319, 323, 350, 390

Not to mention the North Wales LHCS, and all the passing freight... Leeds might be a challenger though, with 142, 144, 150, 153, 155, 158, 180, 185, 220, 221, 321, 322, 333, HST, and MkIV with 91s and the odd 90 for now. Less freight passing though.

I think Leeds is going to take some beating there.

Doesn't Piccadilly also get the occasional 153? They weren't mentioned in the OP but I'd be surprised if they never get there- Welsh ones if not Northern ones (which might be in a similar situation to 156s in Leeds- not many crews signing them).

good shout! Do 222's work to Leeds?

Don't think they do as a matter of course, but it's possible I suppose...

I've not seen a 153 at Piccadilly, i forgot about the Welsh LHCS, was thinking of Leeds after i posted this thread, what does rolling stock Birmingham New Street see?

Glasgow Central? It currently sees the following regularly ever week;

156 / 158 / 185 / 314 / 318 / 320 / 334 / 350 / 380 / 390 / 220 / 221 / 43 / 66 / 90 / 91 / 92 / Mk2 / Mk3 / Mk4

Last year it was also seeing 170s and the still LM branded 321s (well, renumbered 320s prior to refurbishment).

What 66 reaches Central?

 

[driver_m]

I've seen a 153 at picc. ATW one. Also seen a 222 on grand national day. Maybe one or two other times they slip through too.

ATW 153s on occasions on Marches route.

The ones which show up on the odd Sleeper ECS.

150, 153, 158, 170, 172*, 175, 220, 221, 323, 350, 390

I think, with 172s & 175s being rarities.

 

[GW43125]

The ones which show up on the odd Sleeper ECS.

If we're counting the odd sleeper ECS, we can add 86 to that list.

Indeed, so we can also add Class 47 to that list (photo courtesy @ScottDarg ) :

And 87002 as well!

 

[GW43125]

And 87002 as well!

She does make the occasional appearance on 1S25/1M16; though I didn't think she went to Glasgow at all. Am happy to be corrected though.

175s have booked working

 

[delt1c]

what about Edinburgh Waverly
156,158,170, 185, 220, 221, 334, 380 , 390, 43 , 66, 67, 73, 86,87,90,91 & 92
You could add 47 and 37 for tours

68s too, on the Fife LHCS, no?

87002 has been up in Glasgow for about 3 or 4 weeks now due to continuing problems with 86401 (which may be fixed soon). Once again I credit @ScottDarg with the photo:

What 66 reaches Central?

Already been answered but two recent examples are 66549 on October 23rd on 5S26: https://flic.kr/p/ZHMswX

And 66742 on 5M11 on October 24th and 5S26 the next morning: https://flic.kr/p/YFibJJ

I believe they, or another piece of diesel traction, will get brought in if the electrics are playing up. Those two occasions were due to 86401s issues, as @Mag_seven noted, and 87002s batteries going.

On that note, a 67 can be added to the Glasgow Central list if we're including Sleeper ECS, as 67020 was put on 5S26 a week or two ago.

at 19 (+ 2 semi regular) does that put it tops

 

[61653 HTAFC]

Just realised you were referring to my typo that I've only just spotted: I meant 221s!

153s used to get there strengthening 158s on the S Wales trains. Bit more difficult with 175s ...

 

[Far north 37]

Class 60s and 70s pass though waverley as well on the cement trains too i think

 

[PHILIPE]

153s still reach there occasionally with 150s as well as 158s, usually on Sundays.

 

[PHILIPE]

Cardiff Central:- 142, 143, 150, 153, 158, 170, 175, HST, IEP, 37(usually Departmental), 56, 60, 66, 67, 70, 220. 221

 

[imagination]

Reading could have a lot for a while around 2020, by which time it will have gained (if I counted right) 4 more classes on what it has now, which is already pretty high having gained a couple of new ones recently. I don't know when the 180s will disappear, though - this might have happened by then.

 

[Parallel]

Worcester Foregate Street has a fair amount:

GWR: HST, 180, 158, 153, 150, 165, 166
LM: 170, 172, (153, 150)

Not as many as some other stations though.
