    Northern Class 331 East:West unit swap

    Don't know, all 3 times they seem to get it out of Allerton to Edge Hill sidings to run the loco round and something goes wrong and it goes back to Allerton

    Well there's 15 others so will definitely get 333s with the original PIS on the Doncaster Line considering they start on Sunday, if the stars align you may get all 15 of them

    Still in Broughton Road at Skipton, the internal roof panels are still all down, the TfX external screens are in and working on the ends and the middle vehicles for the destination, the old destination screens on the sides of the cab vehicles are still in situ displaying Leeds

    Northern Class 331 East:West unit swap

    Rumours are that initially there will be only 1 6 car diagram which would push back any moves of additional sets to a later date

    What on earth happened to this Sheffield - Leeds via Castleford service?! (On time but Castleford call cancelled, then long delay at Woodlesford)

    Definitely, I'm surprised control didn't pick it up seen as it delayed the express behind

    What on earth happened to this Sheffield - Leeds via Castleford service?! (On time but Castleford call cancelled, then long delay at Woodlesford)

    The train crew were delayed on their journey from Huddersfield to Leeds, so the 0632 Leeds to Sheffield was delayed but as said earlier it made up enough time to return nearly on time but the Castleford stop wasn't put back in, which also delayed the following express from Nottingham as it...

    Northern Class 331 East:West unit swap

    I hope they're sensible with the allocation of the number of advance tickets and don't base it on a 6 car, say they allocated 50% to advance tickets at various price levels and was then short formed of a 3 car you are then in trouble as the train will be pretty much full with the people who can...

    Four elderly ladies thrown off Northern train

    Having heard the story from the horses mouth the morning, 1 woman ran ahead and as the doors were closing wedged herself in the doors to stop them closing and they bounced up as the 170 doors do and they tried closing again and she pushed them open again as her 3 friends got on. The guard did...

    But if you think these units are approaching 30 years old and still have the original PIS system, at the time digital PIS and auto announcements were in their infancy and it was advanced at the time, on their last big refurb TfX wasn't on any of northerns fleet so the old system lived on, and...

    Northern Class 331 East:West unit swap

    Providing a load more 3 cars come over then yes all of them can be 6 car 331s but at the moment we have 10, so 5 pairs with no spares, you need 3 for the half Hourly Ilkley alone. In my opinion they would be silly not to leave a 3 car 331 on the morning peak extra to Leeds and probably would be...

    I very much doubt that all 16 will be done in 2 months, that's 2 a week. As soon as they're diagrammed on the Doncaster line get them ticked off as it'll get harder as more units are converted
