[B][U]GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS.
The good news is that Northern are going to get some more DMU's, now for the bad news the seven or so pacers sent to FGW are to return by the end of the year. They are due to get 8 x 150's and loose 4 x 156's.
This all part of the governments planned new vehicles as per the 2008 Rolling stock plan, i.e for new vehicles read recycled oldsters tarted up.
All that happens more seats are provided within certain TOC's by playing Pass the DMU around.
Oh the 180's that Northern use are being returned to the leasing companies.
