Two 153's coupling at Lancaster, or do they?!

Two 153's coupling at Lancaster where the 1st go is a failure

[@Jeagles]

Drivers conduct a 'pull away test' for this very reason

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

0:38 that’s not connecting I didn’t hear the clicking sound

[@chris-ryan]

I thought they are supposed to visually inspect the couplers after a failed pull away test? Also when you couple two 153's they should thus be called a 306 imo 😁

[@mudchute4dlr]

No?

[@khmcc5556]

The camera does cut, this is probably when they did the visual check

[@DieselDudeRailway]

Great video.

[@bluecharlie23stuff26]

Lol, if you couple 2 153’s it looks like a 156

[@VisitingPiddlyStations]

No, its the coupler which is below the gangways that keep them together, but i see what you mean.

[@TheIntercityhst]

is it me or does that 153 on the right look like a 150 somewhat or is it just me

[@ax2bxc]

TheIntercityhst Both class 150s and 153s are part of the Sprinter family

[@tchnofile]

cool video!

[@dmc1200]

I wonder why they coupled up two 153s, why not just use a 156 and save the bother of coupling the units?

[@samcoppack9012]

A 156 may not have been available at the time or a lack of crew that are trained to drive 156's

[@claudiupinti1]

I Think The Train Terminate Here

[@VisitingPiddlyStations]
