These will displace 8 153s currently operated by Northern. Presume it has something to do with regulations.

Apparently they're staying and will be joined by EMR's remaining 153s leased from Porterbrook as well

Just as a thought regarding the 153s, would it not make sense to run them as 2 or 3 coach sets in order for the distance thing to be maintained.
I just thought it would make more sense as they were originally class 155 units before they were spilt to create the 153s.

Unless they are going to invest in compliant toilets they need to work with 155/156s or 150/2s.
