Very interesting comments indeed. Given through traffic avoiding Leeds by say one train per hour might not be a bad idea! Whether it came via Sowerby Bridge or Huddersfield I dont know but it might avoid the Leeds bottleneck. Either way cd avoid pinchpoints at Batley and Crossgates.

But as I said...just in case....Contingency plans are critical. Did TPE have any?

Shame that TPE didnt put into place some contingency plans just in case there were issues with new stock. More evidence of management failings I think.

In the north we had the green Centro livery on lots of 158s that were moved here-15 years ago?? The LM livery was an update of the Centro livery. I remember those transferred units well as they had all internal signs in English and Welsh because at that time Centro had worked the Cambrian Line...

You are on the right lines there! But having had vinyl decals removed it is quite scruffy close up. Good livery though and better than the orange bits added on new LNW livery.

Its 150109. It worked the 1045 York to Bridlington and return past Beverley to York at 1332 today.

802302 reported to be in service today. Any info on this?

See there are any 1st class deals with reservations. 185s like the 350s before them can get very crowded and often unpleasantly so.

Activity at Worksop cd be more Northern crew training on 195s. 2x195s were reported on a Barrow to Worksop run last week presumably for that purpose.

That is so good. Thanks!!!

Great stuff. Thats the pacer squeal! Remember it so well when some-the skippers-were in south west in later 1980s

Try doing that as they roar through Doncaster on a KX to Sunderland service!!!!

802301 and 302 in regular service now from Beverley and Hull to KX. 303 was on test last week but no info on whether it has entered service.

Many thanks. Next time at Worksop I might give that a go. Part of the trouble with 345 and 710 units are their small numbers. Just wish they had them on their fronts.

Many of the delivered 9 coach 345 units at Old Oak Common have had two coaches removed. These have been moved by road from London to Worksop. I saw a couple of these 2 coach sections at Worksop in mid November but have not seen any full list of those moved. Sadly some local spotters that I met...

London Overground 710 units have also been stabled at Worksop. Havent been down there since mid Nov but there were quite a number there then.

In mid to late 80s there was also a through service from Hull to Carlisle if I remember coreectly. 31/4 and Mk1 stock. Anyone remember that?

Chances are that if the Bradford unit has to attach to another at Leeds the chances of delay are massive. If I lived locally I wd go for GC. Split workings will only work if the railway in general is reliable.

Very secretive. Banks of containers block out any views from the line outside rather like the Booths scrapyard at Rotherham.

Most of the York to Hull and Bridlington services are 155s. You might get one or two on the Halifax to Hull services too.
