Agree with you there david about the interiors of the Northern 150 & 156 Units but Look at the ex Arriva Trains North East 150's interor Still in the origional 1980's brown walls etc but the seat covers have been repalced but yet all still in very good condition.
Just shows how poor quality the refurbishment was on the ones done by First North Western which is one of the reson's i don't like them.
And Look at the ex Scotrail and Valley Lines class 150 interiors amazing how the quality compares plus the engines on the ex Arriva N/E (150's) ones and the ATW ones mwhich are mutch quiter the the Northern ones and seem beter at pulling off.
The same goes for the 156's most of the ex N/W express ones have decent seats but the carpets are hevily soiled and the ex ATN ones the seats are hevily faded but yet the carpets are ok but yet why they use them on Local Stopping Services is beyond me just penny pinching if you ask me.
