Far north line rolling stock

[Rondee]

Are the trains on the far north line connected so you can walk from one train to another from the inside?

They use Class 158s, so yes you can walk between carriages.

But I'm sure someone will be along shortly to suggest using a D train

Not anyone who knows what they are talking about. There are long sections of >60mph running so they wouldn't be suitable.

Don't be be crazy, it should be 67s hauling redundant 373 trailer cars

[co-tr-paul]

Why bi-mode, you've got to be at least 200 miles from the nearest electrified railway?

Not after they put 3rd rail around Inverness

A new member asks a straightforward question and gets one useful answer and eleven posts of irrelevant drivel in response. Fantastic.

 

[co-tr-paul]

The question was answered originally. Can't we have a light hearted bit of banter on here anymore......?

Nothing wrong with a bit of banter, but what was posted was unfunny tedious drivel that has been done ad nauseam in recent weeks.

 

[signallerscot]

Exactly.

 

[Far north 37]

i think the original op was asking a question about the current rolling stock not about what fantasy stock what isnt going to run. anyway it is only single units that run on this line so walking between trains isnt going to be much of a problem the last double units i can mind was when the last train train of the day which combined the kyle and far north train double headed to dingwall then split but i think they both leave at different times now

They do indeed, last train to Kyle departs Inverness at 1754 and the last train to Wick departs 1828.

You do occasionally see 2x158 if there is a need to move stock up to Wick or down to Inverness after a failure previously.
