Arriva have also used a 153 on the city line on a double match day (one at the milennium and one at ninian park) - and incase you didn't know the city line train stops at central AND ninian park), there were so many people on the platform they had to wait for another train. That's good planning!

I've seen 142s on the Northern network that are so crowded that people have to wait on the platform for an hour because one train is too full. However, it's something you'd more likely see on a Saturday than a weekday.
