TransPennine Express

RE: First Transpennine Express
The opportunity to extend the 185's to four cars was lost when the electrification was announced of the TPX lines .

Ardwick and York would have had to be remodeled to accomodate four car sets as most sidings double up at the moment to accomodate at least two units of three cars .

Trans Pennine has been a victim of its own success .

I know this may be controversial to say the least but to maintain capacity on services out of Leeds maybe one of the units crossing to Manchester should not stop at Huddersfield , when you look at the trains work it is not a prime commuter mover.
