Longsight Pendalino Query

[M60lad]

Does anybody know which Pendalino that has this week been stabled at Longsight TMS seems to have been shortened this week and doesn't have the rear carriages for some reason and also why is it currently in this formation?

 

[MidnightFlyer]

It could be the eight extra coaches for extended 390s waiting for their H2 (?) service.

 

[Crossover]

I think Matt is indeed correct.

8 new coaches came up to Longsight a week last Friday.

I saw them there both last Saturday and also last Tuesday, sat in one of the furthest roads from the WCML running lines.

 

[Geezertronic]

Where are the four coaches removed from 054 & 055 (to make them 9 car units) stored?

 

[Geeves]

I think they inside the Virgin depot at Allerton

No Virgin depot at Allerton - assume you mean Edge Hill.

Although I'm sure it would be fun to insert a Pendolino coach into a Northern 156

Even better with a 142. A Pendopacer maybe, or a Paceolino?

It could be quite interesting putting one in a super voyager.... It might even work too

I was thinking about what's allocated to Allerton, but Paceolino sounds good! The tilt mechanism would have its work cut out keeping up with the pacer's bouncing!
