There is much happening here now. I am partly happy that the 142s have all but been withdrawn but I might well miss them. They were good for sight seeing with those massive windows. With one left which is due to be withdrawn I must say that I am not pleased with 150s being used at all on the line. Fine for urban stuff but not for rural journeys. There are now 6 156s I think on the mid cheshire including the named 156420 "La'l Ratty ravenglass and eskdale railway" On the whole good job Northern but just clean your flippin trains please!

On pondering could the 150s be replaced with the odd 158? In the mornings the 150s are not even coming lose to coping.
