Halifax 156

[ST PADDY]

I don't know if this is of any interest to anyone, but I just got off a train at Halifax only to see a five car unit leaving with the late running 1329 Blackpool - York service formed of 156428 +158759. This is unusual as 156s haven't been seen around west Yorkshire for some time, let alone Halifax.

156s are often on the Man Vic - Huddersfield trains, indeed I was on one last week.

Might be a positioning move to get it back over west of the Pennines.

Be a long positioning move if it was on a train from Blackpool North to York to go back west

May have been attached on the way (eg Preston)?

thanks for the update, I wasn't aware of this.
