156409 / (153356) Hybrid Back in CT Days

[northernrailer]

Does anyone have any pictures of the 156409 / (153356) hybrid that Central Trains created when the other half of 409 was involved in the Nocton incident.

I also know there was two other hybrids formed with 156411 / 364, and 1564xx / 383.

Also does anyone know what diagrams they were used on, ie were they kept on services around the Lincoln or Nottingham area or used all over the CT network?

I know the set was kept as 156409 so it didnt end up on the Stourbridge shuttle if it was numbered 153356.

Any pics at all of the 156 / 153 Hybrid please post. cheers

I don't see any reason why it couldn't just be diagrammed as a 156 - I don't know of any restrictions on the former CT network that affected 156s but not 153s (although there is such a restriction somewhere in Scotland).

I've got a a phot of one of the hybrid sets arriving at Crewe from Derby, not sure which one it is though. I'll look it up when I'm home.

This page is good for info about 156 hybrid sets.
