I grew up on the bishop line in Shildon, used to live in the courts just above the signal box. They used to run a summer Sunday services from Bishop Auckland to Whitby which would be a nice day out. One of those trips I remember though had a single carriage 153 for the return trip with everyone crammed in with no other real way to get back home. Another memory that sticks out in my mind was when I went to make my usual trip to Darlington & for some reason I was treat to a 158 in original TransPennine Express livery which even had a BT phone on board. A major step up from the Pacers that rattled along the line usually.
Brilliant video! In terms of routes, my favourite would have to be the Manchester Airport - Barrow in Furness line. I've only rode the stretch between Preston and Cark so I can visit a family friend, but the views near Grange are brilliant! You also pass by Carnforth Heritage Centre, so I had my eyes glued out the window for about 5 minutes lol.
I live only a few minutes from a station along the Buxton line, its fun to walk down to the railway bridge and watch a few 150's pass. The scenery along the line past Middlewood is amazing
The stuff about the 170 was wrong, the original Arriva Northern Trains only brought Class 333s with the 170s coming in Arrivas second one slightly before the 195s.
My bad! I'm not the most familiar with the Yorkshire area northern fleet, so I did mistake the trains construction date with Northern's operation date 😅
Mate……. This video is SO amazing! Beautiful execution,Number of stock! Stations,Explained lines that operated, and about the competition! Well done for earning a sub. Not on,y that but also the most-underrated UA-camr ever award!
The Two car Sprinters used on Tees Valley and Durham coast lines are frequently two car and frequently overcrowded, especially between Middlesbrough and Newcastle.
Just started uni this week, over 4 days northern trains have been delayed on 2 and cancelled on 1, not to mention paying £4.30 for a 6 minute journey from lostock hall to Preston
Northern is my local operator too, with me being at the end of the Airedale line. I have found Northern to be reliable, especially compared to TPE, at times I would use Northern's trains to avoid TPE at all costs
Northern were certainly the bane of my university days where I needed to get three trains most mornings...timetable-wise the connections should have been more than adequate, it was rarely the case.
The only problem I have with Northern is the number of cancellations caused by Action short of Strike, which should be made illegal. A full strike with public awareness is acceptable but this ASOS is totally out of order.
Sometimes a bit of common sense wouldn't go amiss three weeks ago we caught the train from Wigan wallgate to southport, it was a Wednesday and a beautiful day! the two carriages fomation was packed to the gunnells! it was that full the the guard never passed through to check for tickets, as you can imagine it was very unpleasant with the heat and the smells from folk crammed together! four hours later on our return to Wigan we had a four formation of carriages for about 25/30 passengers! can anyone explain this carry on!!
Living on the Harrogate line the trains are the worst the newest train is only 25 years old never enough carriages always delayed or cancelled they don't care about the service or customers
The current state of Northern more of less reflects the past decades of neglect. Little to no infrastructure improvements on that result in both fast and slow trains getting stuck on the transpennine routes or just completely congested. The old rolling stock needs replacing but even when the 197s came in they were not to the same standard as what is procured down South. Just another example of the regional inequality in Britain.

The thumbnail pretty much sums Northern up

My favorite Northern Line that I've travelled on is the very scenic Tyne Valley Line. I have not yet done Settle-Carlisle or the Cumbrian Coast.
This is interesting to hear that someone likes this operator. Might consider making an similar video but about TPE, TfW or Greater Anglia

@@YorksLancsTransportHub 333s have been in service with Northern since the 2000s. I believe you may be mixing up the 333 with the 331
@@user-sx6gm4cn3u Re-read my comment, Northern Trains refers to the Arriva franchise in the early 2000s
Northern rail used to be reliable pre covid. I used to travel frequently between Newcastle and Morpeth
Yes please, I would love to hear you talk about other operators as well.

Northern are shortly coming near where I live in the form of the Northumberland line, single tickets for me will be only £1, can't wait 😁

Tory.
Settle to Carlisle is my favourite by far
I quite like Northern, but my experience with them has only been on 195s. I would definitely like to see this with other operators
"CAF" "the service has been cancelleds due to short change to timetable" says enough ahaa
YORKSHIRE COAT LINE HULL TO SCARBOROUGH VIA BRIDLINGTON
Perhaps Northern should get rid of the older diesel trains and to replace them with ordering more extra Class 195 Civity units.
Tysm for ur content. Im an autistic boy who loves yrains and watching ur videos makes me happy. Ty

Morden - Edgeware via Bank... Wait that's the LU. Meh, forget it.

You must have missed the extensive electrification in the north west over the past decade plus the complete rebuild of the main Transpennine line 🤷♂️

I do not like DMUs to me they are not proper trains...from black 5 O
