Can we have a pic of a unit please?

The photo I took it from

While Class172 finds a photo, no, not Piccadilly...

It would be a rare sight to see a 170 and 185 platformed together there, the only chance would be a NCL / Middlesborough diagram being covered by a 170, or the Midds service using Platform 2

It was just a complete guess! The one-seventy does show Man Picc as the destination though!

Well it should be seeing as many is the while I've spent there waiting for trains to Cottingham, Leeds or York ;)

Same, I took this while waiting for a Bridlington service... back when I was commuting that route, the 170's electrics where held together with tape.

I thought Manchester Piccadilly as well! You do get 185's next to the 170 at Picc, but not a 156 in green!

P.S. Who has the floor?

You people really need to look a bit harder at these pics! There is a distinct lack of wires at Hull whilst at Piccadilly...

;)

P.S. I believe that it would Class 172s go...

OK, how the hell did you get that?

You're right... but how did you get it, and where else have you seen it lately..
Well firstly there was the turquoise mk3 derived unit in the background, which narrowed it down to Northern Spirit and Anglia (Arriva liveries are bluer); that meant the rear unit was a 150/153/156 - 150 already ruled out. Then there was the sloping cab front with dark blue sides which meant TPE potentially, which lead me to a 170 or 185. Then I just guessed.

I honestly have never seen that picture, I was going to guess Huddersfield.

Sorry I should have declared open floor as I was on my iPod. I don't mind if you continue without me. For future reference if I don't return take it as open floor - if I want to post a picture I'll say. ;)
