(17 Mar 2016, 4:50 pm)South Tyne Lad 156484 is the S&C Branded 156 and it looked a bit scruffy the last time I seen it.
It seems to be last in the queue for Refurb, Most Heaton 156s have been done I believe.

There is at least one more.
It would have been the 1750 on the up from Sunderland. It passed me at Seaham earlier. Didn't get id unfortunately.

The 1750 is booked a sprinter

Saw a 142+156 combo today arriving from Whitby into Middlesbrough at lunchtime, presume they pinched the spare 142 from the morning coast service that brings 2x142 down


RE: Northern Rail - northern156 - 17 Mar 2016

It's not uncommon to see other depot's 156s/142s (more so the latter) on other runs around different regions. All to do with replacing units or having different maintenance regimes.
If Heaton want a 156 to Allerton (for overhaul for example) it's put onto various diagrams to get it down there. For instance ending up at Carlisle one day, then Barrow, then Newton Heath then Allerton.

156 469 hasn't had blinds done nor NSA's.
It does have a wheelchair bay though.

New or in a while? Can't recall ever seeing it previously.

Edit: It also has two banks of priority seating (with seating that has a different colour fabric) and an accessible toilet.

Seems to be a lot of police around today...

Two were at Sunderland station and theres also one on the Northern train which left Sunderland at 8:30am for Newcastle.

Anyone know why?

BTP or Northumbria? Chances are that they're after crims.

Probably after what's been happening around Europe recently...

Maybe but i doubt they'll attack Sunderland train station.

I know that.


RE: Northern Rail - anvil1984 - 25 Mar 2016

There's a BTP office in Sunderland station, could've just been checking in there


RE: Northern Rail - 8222 - 30 Mar 2016

Good morning all,

I was wondering if anyone knows if there's going to be a new livery for the new Northern franchise? If so, does anyone know if they have a unit under wraps waiting to be unveiled?


RE: Northern Rail - NK53 TKT - 30 Mar 2016

The livery is near the top of the page

Only the logo is present?

Oops, my bad. The livery I assume will be based on that


RE: Northern Rail - omnicity4659 - 30 Mar 2016

That's not the new livery. The new logo is present but the train pictured has carried that livery for a few years now!

^ what Tommy said.

I don't think there'll be a new livery any time soon especially seeing as it'd have to be applied to everything they have.
On the new-build units, yeah I imagine they'll have some snazzy livery.

Yeah I think you'll be right there. The immediate fix will likely to be a logo decal, similar to what the First Capital Connect units received.
