Northern (Arriva Rail North)
(19 Feb 2016, 12:00 am)South Tyne Lad Yes I have got a source from the " Northern Franchise Awarded to Arriva " Thread in RailUK Forums They discuss what Arriva have confirmed will happen in the Franchise.
GWR 150s, 5 Scotrail 156s and a dozen Scotrail 170s are transferring to Arriva Rail North in 2017, This will in turn release the 144s and 153s to the Lessor.
New stock is indeed being delivered from late 2018 which will replace Sprinters in the North West and Yorkshire which makes them Available to use in the North East, Replacing the 142s all over Northern.
That idea was brought up by Lesaing Company " Porterbrook " which owns the 153s but that idea was rejected by Arriva and as such the 153s are returning to the lessor in 2017

(19 Feb 2016, 12:08 pm)Bus_User Ok cheers for that, I was not doubting you btw, It was just the first I heard about the 144's being returned/withdrawn so soon.
Any truth in the fact as soon as the franchises changes, some 185's will be on loan to Arriva for the Barrow services as I assume they are getting immediately transferred to Arriva in April?
Certainly going to be an interesting few years coming up.

1 - 22:00 - 01:59
The times of the early and late trains are interesting as they potentially imply the trains run into the night...
The last train out of Sunderland to Newcastle currently, is just after 2200

(19 Feb 2016, 1:47 pm)Michael Least i was right on them, i was finding it hard to read it.
Hopefully they'll put the timetables on soon, like with all the proper information.

Sorry for posting so much rail posts the past week, Both Buses and Trains are my favourites.
Anyways Regarding the routing of the " Northern Connect " service between Newcastle Central and Middlesbourgh has been confirmed.....and its not the Durham Coast.
Richard Myers from Arriva Northern at a Transport Forum in Teeside the other day confirmed the following:
Most Northern Connect services will run via the ECML and Stillington Branch to reach Stockton and then Thornaby and Middlesbourgh.
The rest of the Northern Connect services are expected to be run via Darlington.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chester-Le-Street and Durham will have Direct Services to Middlesbourgh and Teeside with the service running on a Hourly Frequency.
The Durham Coast Line beyond Sunderland in the Middlesbourgh direction will remain Hourly, complemented by a few Grand Centrals a day between Hartlepool and Sunderland.
Between Sunderland and Newcastle Central services will be increased to Half-Hourly with extras in the peaks, 1 service runs through to the Metrocentre and one will terminate at Newcastle Central.
2 Trains a Hour between Newcastle and Middlesbrough
2 Trains a Hour between Newcastle and Sunderland
1 Train a Hour between Sunderland and Middlesbrough
What'll be used on the Bishop Auckland - Saltburn line when the Pacers are removed from service?
Also around what sort of time will the service to Bishop Auckland be increased to hourly operation?

(21 Feb 2016, 10:44 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com So will trains be repaintedI'd say it's reasonable to expect to see a new livery for the new franchise. From 1st April, you'd expect to see them do something with the current livery for an interim period, as it contains Serco and abellio names.

Had this emailed through to me today.
Not too many stations in the NE are participating unfortunately.
