Knowing Northern, it won't be a plate, but actually just a sticker/vinyl.

probable so if it were a plate it would soon be shook off with all that twoing and frowing a 142 does

How about "Rochdale Rattler" , "Blackburn Bouncer" or "Clitheroe Clanker". Who has any other decent suggestions?

"Teeside Tumbledryer"?

Hi 62440,
How can you have a tumble dryer that is full of water? (From another thread).

OK, How about a "Stockton Spindryer" then?

Nice one ! How about a "Newcastle Nutcracker" or "Stockton Squarewheeler"?

Class 156
 

The naming did not take place due to opperational difficulties? It will now take place in March 2012 and will be a class 156, anyone have any further information?
Thanks

Did someone point out that fixing a nameplate on to a class 142 would double the value of the unit and that would mean a higher cost for leasing it?

I spent 20 seconds on Youtube finding out what a 124 is and 10 mintes on Wikipedia reading about Timothy Hackworth. I'm in the former camp - it would be a bad choice.
