My floor...

1) I have worked for up to 7 TOCs in my lifetime.
2) I have a Brush traction package.
3) When I was built I had 2+2 and 2+1 seating, now I only have 3+2 seating.

You lot are good, my pet chimp got this one from day one... :lol:

FYI, it's a 322. :roll:

1) worked for 7 TOCs...

NSE (London Liv St - Stansted Airport)
WAGN (London Liv St/KX -Stansted/Peterborough)
FNW (Manchester Airport - London Euston)
Scotrail (Edinburgh Waverley/Glasgow Central - North Berwick)
one (London Liv St - Southend Victoria)
First Scotrail (Edinburgh Waverley/Glasgow Central - North Berwick)
Northern (various Leeds)

2) Brush TM2141B traction motors.

3) Refurbished by Hunslet-Barclay at Kilmarnock between 2005-2007 with removal of original low density 2+1 and 2+2 with 3+2 high density seating for First Scotrail.

Next... Anyone know what this train is? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, assuming you want what class Thomas is, he looks a bit like an LMS "Jinty" so that's my offering. Open floor!

These are 15x dmu that are only operated by just one toc and were split to make a different class of dmu.

Sorry :(

This currently-operating unit has several relatives and operates for only one TOC. It has a unique feature among its family and a different external appearance to the vast majority of other train this TOC operates. Among its family, it is the longest.

171s are not the longest in their family (which includes Electrostars remember ;)).

On that basis, I have to accept the answer 444 - which is correct.

Somewhere, not in London
I'm slightly shorter than a 319 but have twice as many motor vehicles, I also make use of AC motors where 319s do not. Even with this, it is expected that 319s may replace me on one or two of my routes, where I am unlikely to work in multiple other than on ECS or Specials.

This wouldn't be the 323s popping up on the thread again would it?!

Open floor if they are!




And objection to earlier answer... the 155s worked for two TOCs ( the second being the ones in west Yorkshire which still exist as 155s, though I'll concede that all the split ones worked for one TOC ).

I meant as a none split class- they've only worked in West Yorkshire, no?

Oh ok, wasn't aware of that, I presumed they were built in Derby being a Bombardier product :oops:

They were partly fitted out in Wakefield, but the rest was assembled in Belgium.

Anyway, welcome to the game Adam :)

Back to Ollie's poser, is it Class 143?

I'm not sure who that leaves then to think of a clue, but if it is meant to be me, open floor, somebody take it, as my limited knowledge isn't going to provide anything too taxing I'm afraid!
