Northern Unit Refurbishments and depot allocations.

[43096]

I wonder when Northern can expect the first ones.
K

That will depend on when EMR get sufficient 170s to release them, which in turn depends on when WMT get their 196s into traffic.

Are 156s banned from any routes?

 

[Halish Railway]

Are 156s banned from any routes?

They’re not banned as such from any routes, in fact they are cleared on routes that 158s don’t operate such as the Cumbria Coast, although I can’t recall a single time in which one has operated on the mid-Cheshire route. If these ex-EMR units are going to Neville Hill then there shouldn’t be any problems posed as they’re cleared for most of the routes around there.

As for a bit of speculation, I’d expect these units to fall victim to the Northern random unit generator, or they become the main source of traction on the Leeds to Wigan service, hopefully operating in pairs.

158s aren't allowed on the Buxton line either because the roof-mounted air conditioning equipment won't clear some of the bridges.

156s used to be a staple on there, but it seems to be almost entirely pairs of 150s these days

Suspect the 156s will be the main traction myself on the leeds to Wigan service along with the clitheroe. Iff so glad to see 156s back on the Calder valley makes a very pleasant journey. With correctly lined window seats and tables better than a 195.
However 156s do appear on the Chester to Manchester Piccadilly line and have done very recently single and in the odd pair.

 

[Adam0984]

Leeds-Sheffield via Rotherham tends to find a 153 tagging along behind a 150/2 somewhat often.

There isn't at the moment because they're going to Nottingham. General pattern is
Leeds to Sheffield via Moorthorpe - Nottingham - Sheffield- Leeds via Moorthorpe

Isn’t the maximum length that the Clitheroe trains circa 80m? I.E. 2*150s or a two car unit coupled to a 153, the later of which no longer being possible after the ex-EMR 156s displace the 153s.

I know up until this year believe it or not was a year ago when Pacers ended on the clitheroes ie February 14th 2020. They where 4 cars but Pacers where smaller. Unless platforms have been extended have sometimes seen on line the odd 4 car sprinter. But good question especially Blackburn to clitheroe iff anyone with local knowledge might know further iff a 4 car 156 or combination could do the service.

Can the three carriage 158s not work it then? They can be often seen nearby on Wigan - Leeds services and Blackburn services. There are also now two 150/0s on the depot with three carriages.

 

[Liverpool 507]

That rumour has already done the rounds once, when the WMT transfers were first announced. It transpired that it was completely wrong, and originated with a journalist for one of the railway-related publications adding two and two to make 26

Of course, some people on here with insider knowledge are likely to know more than I do, but until and unless it's officially confirmed, I'm skeptical.

I don't know and I highly doubt it. I thought Northern Trains will be getting 17 at first. It's very confusing if it's either 17 or 26. But we'll have to see what happens.

Keeping it very brief x 17 sounds right for northern. Cannot see x9 being being done at Doncaster other than for further wmt use ie for extra trains as per extra predicted growth in west Midlands by 2026. As per the plan for the devolution for wmt by then to become separate from lnwr and wmt to become part off the devolution and controlled by the west Midlands local authority controll. And these might well stay.
However all said and done anything can happen and does so let's wait and see. Because come tommorow etc, it might well change again.

When I worked at Northern a few years ago before moving to my current TOC, it was confirmed that all 323s would come to Northern. Of course that was 2018/19 so things may have since changed.

 

[Halish Railway]

Yes, they have operated the Rochdale to Blackburn/Clitheroe services up to the time of the first lockdown, however it’s less common nowadays as they are now concentrated on Leeds to Wigan services, as well as occasionally showing up on other services such as the Settle and Carlisle line.

 

[NoMorePacers]

The 3 car 158s also work Hull-Halifax services (when there isn't a COVID TT in place of course).

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

The 3 car 158s also work Hull-Halifax services (when there isn't a COVID TT in place of course).

The interior of the 3 car 158s with the original seats in plain blue moquette looks absolutely filthy. I hope they'll be refurbished soon - and the covers are only a couple of years old too!

 

[NoMorePacers]

I think they've all been refurbished with the new Northern moquette now - so should be cleaner (for the time being).

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

I think they've all been refurbished with the new Northern moquette now - so should be cleaner (for the time being).

I hope so, when I was in the North in September I had two 3 cars out of Leeds in the nasty plain blue and they’re grimy, much worse in my opinion than the 158 I took to Carlisle the next day which had the original Purple and White seat covers that are now all gone.

 

[Mollman]

The 3-car sets were amongst the first units to be refurbished by (Arriva) Northern.

I know, hence my reference to the covers only being a couple of years old. I am hoping they'll bring them up to scratch soon, the "ironing board" refurbishment looks so much smarter.

But good question especially Blackburn to clitheroe iff anyone with local knowledge might know further iff a 4 car 156 or combination could do the service.

I know that platform extensions have taken place at Hall i'th Wood, presumably so they can take the longer trains, Bromley Cross already could, but not sure about the stations further away from Manchester than that.

Having looked at the Sectional Appendix, Hall I'th Wood is now, Up 94m / Down 92m, Bromley Cross 95m (Both), Entwistle 99m (Both), Darwen 94m (Both), interestingly between Clitheroe and Blackburn all the stations have platforms just less than 80m long and between Bolton and Manchester Victoria (in one of the upcoming plans these trains become stoppers), it is only Moses Gate which is less than 92 m at 85m. Clifton is fine for it's daily train at 95m, although I think this is now done by a Southport service.

 

[Neptune]

They’ve all had the new two tone blue moquette on the original seats a few months now. They look absolutely fine although the seat base cushion is too thick so you sit too high up for the table and armrest.

 

[Mollman]

I know, hence my reference to the covers only being a couple of years old. I am hoping they'll bring them up to scratch soon, the "ironing board" refurbishment looks so much smarter.

Sorry. I think I saw somewhere the the 3 car units aren't getting new seats now.

The seat covers are only a couple of months old (and they're 100% not getting replacement seats)

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

We must be talking about different covers then. I’m talking about the dirty plain blue introduced around 2016. I know a couple have received the current Northern seat covers since but certainly wasn’t all of them when I was in Leeds a few months ago.

As I mentioned in post 8959 they’ve all been changed to the current style now.

 

[IanXC]

I believe it is because of the different PIS system, they are ex-Greater Anglia. They will get changed to the PIS in Northern's other trains.

Didn't Greater Anglia go with a TrainFX system, which is I think the same system Northern use on Sprinters? In that case its the 'non ex GA' ones that wont have a compatible PIS.

NL will take an allocation to replace 153s.

Neville Hill doesn't have a 153 allocation to replace...

No. You've got it the wrong way round - GA 156s were fitted with a class 170 compatible PIS. EMT fitted their units with the awful TrainFX.

 

[IanXC]

No. You've got it the wrong way round - GA 156s were fitted with a class 170 compatible PIS. EMT fitted their units with the awful TrainFX.

Ah so really the odd thing is taking GA ones at all! Be much easier to just add long term EMR 156s with the compatible PIS!

 

[LowLevel]

The EMT 156s seem to me to be in a better condition (bar the Angel ex Northern 4 which aren't part of the deal anyway) having had a load more work done but the ex GA 156s are booked in for a comprehensive overhaul anyway so I guess it doesn't make much difference!

 

[158757]

769424 has the new seat covers. I'm sure all the 769's all do but I've yet to see 769450 and 769456 in the flesh to confirm.
