    142087 Gets refurbished?

    If you could replace all of Northern's stock with a single type of DMU...?

    I would use Class 175s. Some could be 2 car some could be 3 car. They can also adapt to commuter and long distance routes, being lightweight (unlike 170s) and having a higher max speed than the sprinter products.
