Post by: Shazz on November 18, 2007, 20:17:29 What's the point? Swapping an Angel 153 for a Porterbrook 153? ...about the same as the 142's then! Title: Re: 153318 going to Northern! Post by: Timmer on November 18, 2007, 21:13:46 ...about the same as the 142's then! Which I see Northern are now being told to bring out of storage as they aren't going to get the FGW 158s after all, only some centre carriages from ex Central trains 158s with the FGW units being shared between Scotrail and East Midlands trains. Though as its the Dft making these decisions on who gets what expect that to change.Title: Re: 153318 going to Northern! Post by: Shazz on November 18, 2007, 21:51:49 is this confirmed, or is it just rumours?

Whilst they may be over 20 years old and falling to pieces they're the best thing we have! Title: Re: 153318 going to Northern!
