On the buxton line then they may be used for an increased service. Any timetable doublings?
Today I managed with a bit of waiting to get on the last 142 I have seen on the line.
The number is 142005.
There has been a 158 in recent years on the mid cheshire.
There are often a lot of diverted services and I did see a 158 (not in northern livery) heading to chester. I saw this at Altrincham.
They would cope better I am sure of that. Where driver experience is concerned the 156s is very similar. This class is used currently on this line.
If the oldham loop has lost 142s and the mid cheshire has got one (from what was many more)- where are they going?
