Don't know what the problem was myself, but must have been serious, it was the 1201 Lime St to Wigan that failed!

The wheel lathe at Allerton Depot has been re-opened by Northern after many years out of use.

Are they banned on Middlesbrough-Whitby line?


RE: Northern Rail - Merseyrail 507/508 - 11/12/2012 22:59

No they are not, they just very rarely turn up.

Its not that the 142's are banned but that the 156's are a vehicle better suited to the work , these days 142's are more centred around urban areas.

Banned from Clitheroe aren't they?
