[Train] Class 158, MR-63 and Bombardier T1

[habtasia]

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.

Have any of you guys seen the Class 158 rolling stock used by Northern? Recently purchased from Central trains (now East Midlands trains) and Arriva transpenninexpress and the back up stock from First Transpenninexpress?


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.

First Class is comfy, even better because FTPE is £6 weekend first upgrade

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?

YEP lolol but sometimes we have to use them

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

In very rare circumstances that I have to use Northern Rail I hate every second of it.

LOL! - I know I'm sick of trains, I spend half my life on them.

Only ever been on FTPE 185s and they are boring now.

We should talk more mate, They are barely legal on the safety standards, Also found a slight smell of cat wee

They earn me my crust

This because the 185's supposedly cannot handle the hills (I know ***) and the tracks are too weak to handle a 185 at full belt in places aswell, So they use the turbostar 170s as they have been proven to handle this route quite well

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