RE: Northern Rail - Andreos1 - 23 Feb 2016
(23 Feb 2016, 7:50 pm)South Tyne Lad Nothing has been confirmed on that yet, But speculation is that 156s will be staying with Class 150s transferring from Newton Heath in the North West
Though 150s will have to get cleared between Pelaw and Sunderland first before that happens.
around 2018 I believe though it could be earlier or later
I will update you when more info comes about
If they are GWR 150/0's (the only type I have had a go of) - I didn't enjoy them at all.

No its definitely not 150/0s as there's only 2 of them and there staying with GWR I believe.
Northern operate 150/1s and 150/2s and are all at the minute based at Newton Heath TMD in the North West.
150/1s ( Very Similar to /0s ) arnt the best like you say but 150/2s are great.

Yup just no logos or titles on it. First of all of them.

This will be the start of no doubt a fleet-wide move in preparation for the new franchise holder starting next month.

142084 is about to do the 12:01 from Metrocentre to Morpeth.
RE: Northern Rail - Andreos1 - 01 Mar 2016
Almost went in the 'What has made you laugh thread'.
Northern are suggesting I take my Mam out on Sunday, using their network.
Not sure it would go down too well...

That sounds like 142025, the farting Pacer, 142089 is much better.

Or if you want to travel a bit further and ride 158794 which cant be beat.
No pacers for me.
RE: Northern Rail - South Tyne Lad - 03 Mar 2016
Or another suggestion, Some of Newton Heaths 142s which were refurbed with Mersyrail Seats are quite a experience.
