Northern 153s

[jshaw]

Could anybody tell me what northern 153s are diagramed to work?

Many thanks

Many of the Clitheroe to Rochdale (via Victoria) workings are booked to be operated by 153’s

Pontefract Line services see a 153 on one diagram.

Is that booked though?
IME anything can show up on that line, with 142s, 158s and everything in between showing up!

Cleethorpes to Barton

Yes, booked diagram. Includes the 07.58 from Leeds and 16.41 from Knottingley. Of course, as you say, can't be guaranteed!

Looks as though this moves during the day as they're two different diagrams, the 0758 from Leeds works the 1614 from Knottingley.
There is a unit dropped in Leeds at 1224, dropping back half an hour to join the 1258, this is presumably the 153. This diagram looks to end up in Doncaster via working 2L81 2030 Leeds-Sheffield and then 2R97 2305 Sheffield-Doncaster (along with a 144/3 off 2B37 from Huddersfield!)

There is also a 153 that works 2P37 2059 Sheffield to Lincoln but can anyone tell me what drops it in Sheffield?

I'm not sure if 153s still get to Morecambe or on the Cumbrian Coast now or not. When Clitheroe usually strengthening a 2 Car. They have work strengthening a 158 between Leeds and Carlisle via the S&C. Selby, York, Leeds to Manchester Victoria. Almost anywhere on the Eastern side. They can often be seen working in pairs on routes such as the S & C and Leeds to Nottingham.

Whenever I've been at Victoria in recent times, the Clitheroes have been 153+Sprinter, I haven't noticed any solo 153s.

This is in multiple with a 150. Also including the other hourly Blackburn - Rochdale service. Double check on Journeycheck, if any show as 2 vice 3 shortformed then it's likely the 153's been decoupled.

 

[darloscott]

Another 153 operates 0528 Sheffield-Leeds, 0658 Leeds-Knottingley, 0748 Knottingley-Leeds attached to a 150, they then go off to Neville Hill. Not sure what the evening peak working is yet.

I can confirm this. 142095 worked the Knottingley lines all day then 153328 tagged on for the 16:41 off Nottingley, I joined it at Wakefield Westgate.

Today there was no 153 on either service. Typical Northern!

If they are short of 150s they also use 2*153 on one diagram and run 2 other diagrams shortformed.

there is often a 153 tied to another sprinter on the evening Leeds- Goole service ( always subject to the Northern random unit generator - had a 155 off Woodlesford the other day!)

Since the December timetable change, 155s are now 'booked' on some Pontefract Line services.

I haven't had a 150 on the line for months.

They have work strengthening a 158 between Leeds and Carlisle via the S&C. . They can often be seen working in pairs on routes such as the S & C and Leeds to Nottingham.

Seems bizarre to be using 153's all the way from Leeds to Carlisle when 170's are running on the Leeds-Harrogate stoppers from which half the passengers will have alighted by Horsforth.

Do Carlisle and Skipton crews know 170s ?

There's a 153 which comes off Neville Hill with a 142 for the 1648 Leeds - Sheffield so possibly this? I think the 150 works the 1018 Leeds - Morecambe, 1232 Morecambe - Leeds then attaches to a pacer for the 1448 Leeds - Sheffield

That would make sense, as I think it's that one that goes to Barton the next day... it sits in Sheffield for 17 min which would give enough time to shunt the 153 off. It attaches to a later Lincoln service to overnight there before EMT take it to Cleethorpes
