Northern Railway, 150115 Giggleswick to Leeds - 14/12/2016

Filmed on 14/12/2016. Haven't featured the class 150 train rides for a while so its time to get back to it.
150115 working 2Y57 Morecombe to Leeds which calls at: Bare Lane, Lancaster, Carnforth, Wennington, Bentham, Clapham, Giggleswick, Long Preston, Hellifield, Gargrave, Skipton, Keighley, Bingley, Shipley and Leeds.
As we are mostly aware, it really isn't long before the grand reopening of the Settle & Carlisle line of which everyone is doing an amazing job on reopening the line. Hellifield will be once again the hot spot for steam and rail tour traction and will be the grand highlight of the line.
150115 is much more comfortable compared to the rotten pacer train and much faster as well. After riding on 144009 for the onward journey, had the impression that pacers are not suitable for this kind of work. The train arrives at Skipton nearly 10 minutes as it runs semi fast into Leeds station.

I recently went on an EMT HST between Keighley and Grantham and going through Thackley Tunnel just before Apperley Bridge the ride was rotten, probably worse than a Pacer

[@RickyNowis]

Really? Would have thought riding the HST would be comfortable journey. Why was it a bad ride? Was there anything wrong with the train?

[@halishrailways2003]

A coach was missing so it was operating in a 7 Coach Formation! Also the lights went out a few times. I have heard other complaints about EMT HST's on the ECML. On the same journey the Normal VTEC sets are fine
