You should try driving the bloody things in this weather - More faults and failures on our 333 units than at any other time of year.

Incidentally, a TPE 185 was derailed in Summit Tunnel (Between Littleborough and Walsden on the Calder Valley line) yesterday due to a mahoooooosive block of ice falling from the tunnel vent shaft and landing on the rails - front bogie on the floor at 70mph - I'd have litrally soiled my undercrackers if I was driving that train!

Thats going to make a mess!

It makes you laugh tho they run 156's up north (Inverness tmd)fitted with ploughs and the johnny on the coupler and have no problems with them.

We used to have plenty of 156's at Leeds based at Neville Hill but Northern have shifted them to Heaton and Newton Heath so we hardly get them anymore - Shame really, cracking unit to drive

We do have 142, 144, 150/1, 150/2, 153, 155 and 158's to be going at in the diesel flavour though - Give me a 144 or a 158 any day of the week over anything else.

Having said that, give me a 37 and a rake of Mk 2d/3a stock and I'd be happy as a pig in the preverbial

(geek alert lol)
