150106 was still around Tysely this week.

Any idea when it will be leaving for First Great Western?

Well, two things! I had the pleasure of 150105 yesterday at Dorridge and I swear Tysely are cleaning up the 150s as they all seem to be smarter than ever. And two 172s are stalking me. 340 and 341 and I think we've striked up a friendship! Been reading that FGW is to test a 150 between Basingstoke and Reading. If they get 001 and 002, it will great news and I hope they do! Finally, the Northern forum has been saying how well looked after and smart our units are which is a credit to Tysely depot. Just hope they keep up the wonderful work with the 172s, which I already love!

Calder Vale isn't due to get any extra 150s. Calder Vale will get an extra 2 car 144 and a 2 car 158 to strengthen services as a result of the 322s arriving. Calder Vale will also get one of the 7 142s that are coming back from FGW. The 2 car 144 will run around tagged to a 3 car 144, the 158 will be attached to another 2 car 158, while the 142 will be attached to a 144.

The 5 car 144 diagram will include the 06:13 Leeds to Victoria and the 18:00 Victoria to Leeds.

The 4 car 158 diagram will include the 06:37 Leeds to Victoria.

The 142+144 diagram will include the 07:13 Leeds to Victoria.

Indeed, it didn't answer the question.

We will have to see if they stick to the same diagrams tomorrow or not, and if not, see how far they spread around the Northern network.

The question was a bit ambiguous though with Calder Vale being promised extra units for strengthening and 150s not being that common on Calder Vale services.

I think you will find they do around 20% of calder valley services. They did much more than that prior tn the may 2011 timetable change.

Yeah we have a few 150 diagrams on Calder Valley line, definately on the diagram which takes in the 1108 Leeds to Man Vic semi fast and return to Selby so that means also the 0921 stopper from Vic to Leeds and the 0737 stopper from Leeds to Man Vic that is a 150 operated diagram as its one of our diagrams. Also its the way the 150s transfer to and from Newton Heath to work the Harrogate line or indeed come off it to go home
