"Hullensians" really ought to be used in the title of this link.

Propping up is the key word. Which constituency is Newton Aycliffe in? Sedgefield, Bishop Auckland or Darlington? All went Tory in Dec election. Cd make political sense to keep plant going there.

Definitely over the top to have 2 158s on that service. How many other services were cancelled or short formed by Northern as a result? Inability to diagram correct units to booked services is one of the big failings of Northern.

6 mins will mean nothing to most people! What matters is whether they run or not and on time.

Another issue with a two set service wd be that the platform at Beverley is not long enough. Lock out one set north of Hull or add/detach one at Hull?

Nice pic! Anyone have any info on 305? The performance of the Paragons has been pretty good so far. 305 cd spend alot of its time not needed in service! Any info on future plans for Hull Trains? Article in recent edition of Rail hinted at operating new routes.

If we had a joined up railway all this talk of stealing revenue from TPE on York to Scarboro wd be unnecessary!

Driver training has been done recently. Was talk service wd form the York to Blackpools but now it will just be a Scarboro to York shuttle.

Seems to be regular Sat (or is it Friday??)working Midland Rd to Millerhill with 5 66s. Saw 6 once on Midland Rd to Whitemoor working.

I'll pass on that label but the beauty of those first generation dmus was that you cd get a great view from the front seats-provided the driver didnt put tne blind down!

Try the Northern Fail app. That might give you some more excuses!

Great vid. Have you sent a copy to Hull Trains? They might sign you up!

What a great pic. One of the 100s lasted way into 1980s with Cravens dmu 50812?? Dont think either were preserved.

I remember very distinctive looking class 100 dmus on this service in late 1970s

In the very last days of the Deltics they occasionally hauled the York to Stockport leg IIRC

Can anyone help me pronounce this one correctly?-Micheldever in Hants. Have I spelt it corre tly?

At Scarboro I shd have said

Drivers and conductors used to work 2 shifts each per day on Hull to Scarboro line. One unit was outstationed overnight at Hull. Now itruns up from Hull at 0533 so I think its all Northern now. Change was in 2018 IIRC.

Reliveried ex TPE 350 unit that hasnt gone south yet by the sound of it. On loan until all 397s are in service.

Didnt Northern units( or whatever its name then) sometimes go to St Rollox works? Ok not a passenger service but in the area. They also went to Kilmarnock for repair?? Not sure of these points. Can anyone enlighten me?
