I am a regular commuter from East Didsbury to Manchester and most of the time it’s standard 2/3/4/5 carriage 197’s. Tonight on the return home it was a 158 - how rare is this?
I haven't seen one at MIA for the last two years at least, however has been one on the 2126 MIA-CTR and corresponding inbound service since 03/06/26. Due to shortage of 197 units I can only imagine.
