Capacity of Northern Rail DMUs

[hstudent]

Does anyone know what the seating capacities of the different Northern Rail DMUs are, or where the information might be available?

Try wilkapedia but some units vary due to broken seats which arnt repaired just removed !

The only information Wikipedia gives is that 142s have between 102 and 120 seats. No information on 150s, 156s etc. I know it's the former ATN 142 that have 102 seats. I think it's likely that the Merseytravel ones have 120 seats, as they have a 3+2 seating pattern and very little leg room. I know some former FNW ones with the bus bench style seating have had broken seats removed, but some of those units may have gone to FGW. Although, Northern would probably rather have reliable trains with less seats over less reliable trains with more seats.

Some Merseyrail 142's have had seats removed which may have been broken or just removed to accomodate the increasing number of nucence prams .

I don't know about northern units but I do know that MML 222's don't have a seat 01 or 02 in coach A.
