Great video Mr Boogie, even on a Sunday this is a very busy place with lots of different classes of Multiple units going to and fro. Well done 🤓

Great video.

Leeds station is a good place to see lots of trains including freight trains. Still Network Rail should continue on with the electrification from Leeds to York via Church Fenton and from leeds to Stalybridge.

Do you think that Northern could order more new trains to replace the older trains that are getting quite old. Including ordering more Class 195 and Class 331 Civity.

A solution to capacity shortage that could be quickly implemented would be to add extra carriages to the 2 and 3 car CAF units. The same argument would apply to the WM and TfW CAF units. That would potentially allow services to be strengthened. It may also make some of the oldest units surplus to requirements. All in all it must be quicker than ordering complete new trains and should be cost effective as the type is still in production.

Hull to man pic via Sheffield is interesting. Haven't heard of that route before. Is it a regular thing?

[@BoogiesTrains]

Might be a misreading on my part. I'll check back to my extract from RTT when I get a minute.

As I suspected when I first read your comment, this is an error on my part. The route is via Dewsbury, Huddersfield, Stalybridge and Guide Bridge. I have no idea what made me think it was going via Sheffield.
