    Northern class 153 livery question

    In the photos the OP shares, the swoosh works, as it's attached to a 158 (with a swoosh in the other direction). Does make you wonder why Northern don't couple their 153s small cab to small cab (from what I've seen) it does look a bit odd, swooshes or otherwise

    Did my train just depart early?

    West Midlands railway (and previously London Midland) used to do this on the Snow Hill line. Report it, there’s absolutely no excuse for departing early

    If you could create any direct services which currently don’t run which would you choose?

    Smethwick Galton Bridge to Coventry would be handy (I know there’s already a few direct services)

    My idea for additional calls at Lye & Old Hill

    The ex-Stourbridges already called at Old Hill etc. The Kidderminster terminators used to call at these stations, it changed a couple of years ago when the Worcesters began to avoid Hagley & Blakedown

    Will Northerns new 195s and 331s be compatible?

    I take it you’re not familiar with workings in the West Midlands? Various Chase line diagrams are worked by 170+153, there’s a 170+153 on both Hereford - Birmingham and Snow Hill lines

    The Future of the Snow Hill Lines

    I strongly disagree there. Smethwick Galton Bridge serves as an interchange station, I’m such passengers would much rather change there than go all the way to Moor Street/Snow Hill and walk to New St for connections. Blakedown passengers have already lost their direct service to Worcester, why...

    Best ever traction sound

    Unpopular opinion, but it's always been the Class 153s for me. Always will be

    London Midland Class 172s

    They are both back in service, which is great to see. Although 172333 still has 50338, and 172338 has 50333, so they're both mismatched

    TRIVIA -Grotty Stations in Grotty Towns or Places

    Perry Barr (if not already listed) I'd have to agree there, living in the area.

    Class 155s on Sundays

    Anyone know which lines around Leeds that Class 155s operate on Sundays? Given that there are only 7 of them, are they even used on Sundays?

    Express Sprinter vs Turbostar

    The 168s are the best DMUs on the network in my opinion. With 170s and 158s respectively a close 2nd & 3rd
