EMR class 156s for Northern

[Ryry]

156404 on a move today from Newton heath to heaton

 

[physics34]

416 is being held up by 409's rather long corrosion works not completing on time. Once 409's finished and put back on it's bogies it will go for rebuild, then 416 corrosion work can commence. Just as an insight, this is a view of the underframe of one vehicle of 416 once the interior flooring has been removed.

View attachment 128012
Just to clarify, 417 will be coming to Northern once it's been through Wolverton. So no requirement for an additional unit there.

Lol typical met camm!

These trains are 35 years old, the prospective end of their design life when ordered. They don't owe the railway anything to be fair, this corrosion is to be expected and not a dubious reflection of the materials used in their construction or workmanship at Washwood Heath.

Oh yes, theyve had a good innings. No offence intended, but met camm and rust did always have an affiliation, even going back to 70s DMS london buses.

156405/406/408/410/411/413 and 917 still in operation.

156410 on Liverpool-Norwich and return today, seen at Man Picc.

156405/406/408/411/413 and 917 still in operation.

I thought 917 was stood down? It's just not moved to Barrow Hill yet though.

It has worked to Lincoln tonight having gone ECS from Derby to Nottingham.

 

[Swif_47270]

Yes it's done a couple of trips on the Barton line this morning and now running ECS to Eastcroft. 413 taking over on the Bartons.

 

[LowLevel]

It's now down for the 1800 Mansfield Woodhouse too. It's quite possible that it is on limited usage and has been kicked out given the small number of 156s left - 406 failed on the Bartons yesterday with an engine fault leading to the evening services being cancelled.

I'd guess that was the case as well, especially given that prior to yesterday it hadn't been out in a while.

156917 still in use so 7 units still with EMR

Just a small point..The Class 156 bodies were made by Procor at Wakefield..
as were the Class 60 bodies…

Not all of them. The shell build was split 118 Procor, 60 WH Davis at Langwith Jct and 50 Standard Wagon at Heywood.

Just a smaller point, roughly half of the 156 bodies were made at Wakefield. Can't remember where the others were off the top of my head, but think it was a couple of other places.

Dead right.. Wikipedia has full details..W.H.Davis and Standard Wagon were the other two..
Thanks for that..

156917 still out and about in the Lincoln area today.

Believe 156413 failed today on the Liverpool corridor with brakes! Doesn't help! Formed an 8 car back to Nottingham over an hour late and took Dore East to keep it in formation.

I don’t believe it was 156413 that failed. It was 1L11 the train in front of it that failed at Widnes and 1L12 (413’s train) that assisted it.

Is 156403 due to leave ATC Crewe yet? It went for repainting on 31st January.

Is 156403 now with Northern?

 

[pokemonsuper9]

Is 156403 now with Northern?

I mean it's moving to Newton Heath T.M.D. so I'd assume so

 

[170UTD]

156403 has arrived at Newton Heath successfully. It should be entering service in the next few days.

Did you ever find out what was on this?

 

[SuperLuke2334]

Did you ever find out what was on this?

No because it was cancelled.

 

[The_Train]

No because it was cancelled.

Oops should have checked the link instead of assuming something would run as planned on the UK network

Looks like 156403 has now entered revenue earning service with Northern.
