[steam for ever]

I hate these little busses on rails.
Well they are not all bad come to think of it.
You get great views out the windows, so it is great on a smooth straight line on a non windy warm, sunny day.
Never going to happen.

Rail operators like to use them however, and I see why:
They are fuel efficient and can carry quite a number of people.

The problem is the mid cheshire line.
Yes there are now a few 150s and 156s trundling around now too but this is not enough.
The fact is that there are far too many people now using the line for these little trains to handle.
In rush hour people have to resort to standing in the door wells.
I have complained about this to northern and the mid cheshire rail group, but they are not being withdrawn fast enough.

Yes some were, but now the withdrawals have stopped.

My point is, if you they going to have them, why not add a middle coach like the 144s.

If this does not work, how about getting hold of those 144s that are being chucked because of a conversion to light rail?

Your thoughts please.
What should be done?
