There is usually at least one on the Saltburn line in addition to anything up to Northumberland or along the Tyne Valley.
I had whichever one is in the Settle Line livery at the weekend for the first time in a few years.
A point to note, is that it hasn'the had any of the modifications others have with regard to NSA's or its front blind.
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.
