Very sorry to hear this. We always put on as many carriages as we can, but at this time all our available carriages are in use across our network. The planning team allocate each day, based on what is available. However the number of available carriages can alter, due to scheduled maintenance, disruption or alterations. We do have brand new trains being built, which have a greater capacity than the trains they are replacing, and will be increasing our peak time capacity over the next couple of years. In the meantime we are also acquiring more carriages from other operating companies. Apologies for the inconvenience caused ^JB

But coming back was a crammed dirty 2 car 158! Do you base where you allocate rolling stock wherever is needed, or put it wherever?

A puff-piece by Northern, but I have no problem with that since these 331s HAVE to be better than the pacers they replace. However, I wouldn't make a virtue of the fact that they are being built outside of the UK. I didn't see any WCs in the video but will presume they've thought of that in the design. Also, a lovingly lingering shot on a UK power point fitted on a "one between two seats" basis is almost bound to lead to problems on crowded trains (try leaving Leeds between 5pm-7pm weekdays) and are at just the right level for a well placed vandal's boot. Even my local bus now provides USB charging points for every seat but I didn't see this in the new Northern stock - a missed opportunity? A positive is the inclusion of a loop for hard of hearing passengers. After years of pacer trains these 331s are a breath of fresh air but sadly not the step change in design for which I'd hoped.

You call 195’s better only because they’re replacing the Pacers??

While a majority of "new trains" look absolute crap + I don't live up north, this definitely looks like a stepup from the Pacers and an improvement to the routes

For everyone who complains about newer train seats. In my option, the worst seats are on the 185/350/380/450/444 etc as they feel like a rock

Don't think they'll be on those routes, that'll likely be 170s and refurbished 158s as the 195s are mainly for cross-Pennine 'Northern Connect' services like York-Blackpool North, Manchester Airport-Windermere, Chester-Leeds to name a few

Hi Mark. We have 98 trains on order - 55 diesel, 43 electric. We have options for potential further carriages. We are also acquiring many trains from other operators, all of which will be refurbished to as-new condition along with most of the rest of our fleet (excluding those trains that will be withdrawn) ^JB

@agent_605

I’d doubt it as we don’t actually have that bad rolling stock through Liverpool. The only ones are the Liverpool-Manchester south route which these trains won’t be needed on as these new trains are for longer distance services (e.g Chester-Leeds) and not short services like ours. We will however get heavily refurbished stock to a similar standard of the new

Well, from this clip it looks as though they still have not got the seating right. I'll thought out seat spacings with a failure to ensure that all seating corresponds to a window. Additionally, the poor quality of seating we have come to expect on our modern railways in the UK. The usual rigid framework with very thin cushions for the seat itself. Numb or sore bottoms will be the order of the day with these trains.

@agent_605

The seats use the Fainsa style seating used on ScotRail 156s and 385s, which has much more padding than the Quantum ones used on the 700s, 387s etc

Compare these type of Trains and the time it takes to Test them out in Spain then on a Test track in the Czech republic then more testing in the UK With the A380 aircraft which takes 6 weeks from leaving the Production line to being delivered to the Airline !?!?

The first few A380s had to go through much more rigorous testing before introduction. Also, the railway usually has higher safety standards and concerns as they need to be tested on every line they will operate to make sure they fit on the line and avoid any potential issues with hitting platform edges etc

British Rail Engineering Ltd made up the concept of a paced from combining abundant Leyland National Bus bodies and High speed Freight Wagon 1’s chassis. After privatisation, they were given to the leasing agents Angel Trains, Eversholt Rail and Porterbrook who lease them to the train operating companies Northern, Arriva and GWR. Blame BREL not Arriva.

@agent_605

5 жыл бұрын

It was made by BREL in the early 80s using old Leyland National Bus bodies and freight wagon chassis that weren’t needed as it was cheaper than ordering more Sprinters, and the alternative was to close many rural lines Beeching style. They were only meant as a stop gap until BR secures funding for new proper DMUs, although privatisation got in the way, and the government’s who privatised those franchises with Pacers on didn’t provide funding for their replacement, which is why it has taken so long. Don’t blame Arriva for it, they just inherited them from the previous company Wales & Borders (operated by National Express), who inherited them from Valley Lines, who in turn inherited them from BR. It’s the same for the other franchises, no franchise that didn’t have Pacers have introduced them since privatisation, it’s the franchises that had them originally that still have them now

The reason Northern bought from CAF is because both Hitachi and Newton Aycliffe and Bombardier at Litchurch Lane were both full with orders, with Hitachi still needing to complete the 800s and 801s for VTEC/LNER, and the 802s for GWR, TPE, and Hull Trains. Bombardier however need to finish the 345s for TfL Rail/Crossrail, as well as the 710s for London Overground, the 701s for South Western Railway, the 711s for c2c, the 720s for Greater Anglia and the 730s for LNWR and WMR

Like most modern Euro design units, an ugly looking front end and very stark and clinical interiors.... BUT, they are surely a massive improvement over what we have right now, and for that I welcome them with open arms, even if the design could be much more appealing. The pacers have long outstayed their welcome and anything that brings about their demise can only be a good thing. That said, since they can only run under AC wires, they cannot replace the pacers directly, more electrification is needed.
