Anyone like them?
But my 2 favourite trains still remain as the
Bombardier T1 at the TTC and
MR-63 at Montreal Subway!
I love the sound of the MR-63 it makes when it starts up (Search on Youtube) They make that sound because of the "Current Chopper" which distributes different voltages seperatly to help a smooth acceleration!
Also i like the sound the Traction Motors make when they start-up on the Bombardier T1 and Class 158
class 158 - is ok i guess very unpower if you ask me lol.Quote:

I personally don't like northern or these trains due to the state of dis-repair
I prefer the class 185's operated by First Transpennine Express.

I think its quite smecksy lol, First class is alot more comfortable than standard in my opinion, and these now operate the Manchester - Edinburgh/Glasgow routes.
I always use them Transpennines from Grimsby lol.Quote:

Northern is just Northern and I hate it, don't I Daniel? ;) - Ohh the joys of waiting in Liverpool Lime Street for a extra hour just to avoid Northern eh Dan? :P

yes kurtis, seen them is not the word really we live on them lololol we spend so much time travelling places lolol.
FTPE Class 185 on all the routes also use the class 170 on their Manchester Piccadilly - Hull route
i like Siemens Desiro trains shame about the seats not the best for long routes and yes and the first class seats are good FTPE shame other TOC who use Siemens Desiro trains dont have ones liek that for first class :D
In very rare circumstances that I have to use Northern Rail I hate every second of it.Quote:

The TPE layout and livery is going to become the norm across the whole first fleet and groups of companies.
Likewise :DQuote:

Northern is actually so bad.
I agree with the slight smell of piss on the trains too, on new years day I had no choice but to go Leeds -> Doncaster on Northern (40 minutes of hell) and there was a very strong smell of piss..
I say lets come up with a masterplan and totally remove Northern Rail from the UK railway network! :)
Should you even apply for employment with them, I will forward them details of your derogratory comments regarding them, in order to help you. I would also advise you to seek help for your head.Quote:

Bang a letter off to the Department of transport detailing your concerns and let the fireworks fly
