156420 + 142020 left Stockport at 1110 on a service to Wigan NW

Yesterday at around 1638 at Hatfield & Stainforth there was a light loco waiting at the signal heading towards Doncaster or Adwick. Looked like a 68 but not 100%, think it could've been this: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O59552/2018/11/23/advanced Thanks in advance for help, etc

Cheers for that, looks like a trip to Manchester next Monday then...

Looking at Flickr 153311 & 153326 have only carried Regional Railways & EMT liveries, I'm sure there's some more 153s & 156s that are in the same boat

Ideal routes for HST GTIs? Will never happen but got to be better than 170s for long distance work

I need 142011, 142046, 142062 & 142088. Probably would've scored them ages ago if Northern ran on Saturdays..

Haven't Voyagers ran out of Manchester Victoria at some point? I'm sure I've seen VT 4/5 car signs on the platforms there

Piccadilly to Victoria/Altrincham on Metrolink and then possibly on a Saturday Manchester to Eccles/Ashton/Rochdale/East Didsbury?

Is Rotherham up there?

If Nottingham to Liverpool was given to another TOC, would it be worth having a Norwich to Crewe service via Nottingham, Derby, etc?

I agree. If a Pacer is attached to a compliant 150 for example surely that makes that service compliant? Or does every single carriage on the network need to have a load of seats taken out and a new toilet put in?

Liverpool to Cardiff/Glasgow/Edinburgh?

Didn't Hull Trains 180s used to go Old Oak Common for maintenance?

1949 from Manchester Pic to Sheffield is quite good for some Pacer action, all stations to Chinley and then Dore & Sheffield

Is there no demand for a "proper" station/service? I would've thought with the football/cricket grounds nearby and Salford Quays not a million miles away that at least an hourly stopper if not EMT stopping there too would be a decent shout

Could possibly fit if TPE became non-stop between the 2, don't Northern operate some extra peak time stoppers between Manchester Pic and Huddersfield?

My thinking was extend 1 Victoria/Stalybridge shuttle an hour through to Huddersfield/Rochdale

Looks to me like that service is missed so the unit(s) are coupled onto the 2049 from Liverpool to Nottingham: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C67133/2018/10/20/advanced http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C67136/2018/10/20/advanced...

Would a Manchester Vic - Rochdale via Huddersfield service work?

Oz Clarke, Peter Snow if they haven't already been mentioned
