The conductors at York and Leeds may not sign 156s but the drivers definately do as the Heaton 156s often venture to Neville Hill for tyre turning or York drivers will take one to Leeds if a unit needs to get to be taken to Manchester for North West services ASAP. Class 142s do have fixed depots and certain repairs / exams can only be done at the home depot. Refuelling and minor repeirs can be done at Neville Hill or Newton Heath
My apologies. However the number of drivers that do sign them must be very limited?
I don't see the point in whole depots training up on units they're going to take ECS occasionally. Same boat as Heaton/York/Darlington drivers signing Darlington to York via Northallerton with no booked services of their own (again excepting the odd ECS move from Neville Hill/Newton Heath). Surely those would do sign them would be drivers that were at York when 156s were the norm?
