    1520 Carlisle to Nottingham (20/02/22)

    Can’t say for sure but looking at RTT 158792 started the service at Carlisle and terminated at Skipton, I believe Thackley Tunnel near Shipley was flooded preventing it running to Leeds, I expect the service was then partly reinstated from Sheffield to Nottingham.

    Leeds - Lancaster - Morecambe cut back to skipton.

    It was quite a rare experience taking a class 333 Skipton service out of Leeds from platform 16 on Monday, some services are not stopping at all stations after Shipley and stop only at Bingley, Keighley and Skipton (or certainly the 09:41 that I was on was all stops from Leeds to Shipley then...

    Specific trains/services you miss

    I miss the regular hourly service on the Huddersfield-Wakefield-(Castleford), it’s a fairly regular journey i make to Wakefield, which since COVID I now have had to switch (hopefully temporary) to the 231/232 bus to avoid having to travel via Leeds. This service just runs a couple of times a day...

    Northern Class 195: Construction/Introduction Updates

    Managed to capture 195021 this morning. I noticed it did not appear to have working destinations, only 195006 on the rear was displaying its destination of Leeds. https://www.flickr.com/photos/railphotosonline/51185451360/in/dateposted/

    Hardest station to depart from?

    I would say platform 5 at Shipley with it been on quite a sharp curve, but also more difficult from the conductors perspective with visibility when dispatching the train, usually having to walk the width of the platform from the middle of the train when releasing and closing the doors.

    TRIVIA : Where haven’t Sprinters been?

    I maybe wrong but I believe the 158’s which transferred a few years back from Scot Rail to Northern (158786 etc) travelled between Haymarket and either Heaton/Neville Hill via the ECML thus covering the Dunbar-Berwick section.

    Trivia; Longest walk from station entrance to platform.

    I guess you could add Leeds to this with the current one way system in place. To get to platform 17 from the main entrance once through the tickets barriers it involves walking the length of platform 8, across the far footbridge then walking the length of platform 16 to reach 17.

    Northern Unit Refurbishments and depot allocations.

    This was 158844, looking at real-time trains its journey appears to of terminated at Newcastle Central rather than continuing onto Heaton depot.
