I think Northern need to buck there iders up they don't seem to have a clue what they are doing.
It is not about what stock they can get it is about what they do with it and how they run the services and about scrapping services that just don't need to be there.
examples (My area)
1- Liverpool to Stayleybridge (Stopping Service), This should turn back at Manchester Victoria and Operated by 150 units (3 or 4 Coaches).
2-Liverpool to Manchester Airport (Express) This should be 1st stop Huyton then Rainhill - St.Helens Junction - Newton Le Willows - MAnchester Piccadilly - MAnchester Airport. omiting wavertree as there is no need for it to stop here Huyton is a more popular stop than wavertree and also it should be operated by a 158 (3 Coaches Min)
3-Liverpool to Warrington Ban Quay this service sholsd be scrapped and replaced with a Stopping Service to Manchester Piccadilly and operated by a 150 unit (3 or four Coaches).
4-Liverpool to Blackpool (Express) This shold be 1st Stop Huyton then St.Helns Ctl- Wigan N W - Preston - Leyland - Blackpool North and oprated by a 158 (3 Coaches Min).
5-Liverpool to Wigan this should be operated by a 142 unit (Four Coaches /2 Units Peak )
6-Liverpool to Manchester Oxford Road to be operated by a 150 unit (3 or four coaches) and Half hourly to Stop at HUnts Cross.
