I can’t remember what they are, they retained them on electrified lines in West Yorkshire long after their expiry date there was always a seat and they were quite comfortable

I don’t think Bridlington’s platform 8 is operational- it it 4-6 or 5-7 at Bridlington? 1606918434 Blackpool as mentioned above had 8 for many years and didn’t require them though I always found trains arrived and departed at random platforms, once I was there in a queue with barriers Royal...

Crewe to Chester avanti and tfw, they form an almost opposite clockface departure, although the avanti shorts are often extended to Holyhead in the summer

This would be a good idea in northern land, use a 153 alone to avoid a cancellation. Surely a 153 or even pacer alone is still better than no train
