    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.

    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 😅

    This is interesting to hear that someone likes this operator. Might consider making an similar video but about TPE, TfW or Greater Anglia

    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 😁

    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 Two car Sprinters used on Tees Valley and Durham coast lines are frequently two car and frequently overcrowded, especially between Middlesbrough and Newcastle.

    I quite like Northern, but my experience with them has only been on 195s. I would definitely like to see this with other operators

    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

    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.

    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.

    • @Bungle-UK
      @Bungle-UK 25 днів тому

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