(15 Apr 2018, 8:27 pm)Michael wrote 901 is used for South Hylton to Heworth - probables because Network Rail maintain that line

900 is used for the rest of the line


Although some reason, i'm thinking there once was a 902.

Of course, when it's the central section closed, unless some of each route at either end is also involved in the closure, all replacements run as 900s (like today)

Speaking of that, 6071 had 901 on the destination today when only the 900 was due to operate. Driver error possibly?

(18 Apr 2018, 10:09 am)Dan wrote Yes, 6158 was the last to go to Stanley on Monday (entering service today).

Also notable is that this one doesn't feature fabric 'Go' seat moquette. Has e-leather.

(18 Apr 2018, 10:14 am)Michael wrote Did it arrive with e-leather from London or has Blackburn put the leather in themselves?


Any brand repaints coming up soon?
