    Almost certain this is the unit I saw standing on the line from Longannet P.Stn to Kincardine at around 10.00 hrs 1/8/06.( Unless there is anything else that looks like it's been converted from a class 150/1!)

    Saw it at Doncaster West Yard when leaving at 15.45. This unit seems to visit the Doncaster area quite regularly. Any particular reason why?

    I saw this unit passing through Chesterfield, Derbyshire on the 10th May 2008 heading towards Sheffield. The unit crossed over to the good line after passing through the station, which has been recieving much work over the last few months.

    It was built at York as an add on to the then current 150 unit build.

    It has always been a recording unit. I have travelled on it for work around the Yorkshire area. Quite entertaining when it pulls into a platform and members of the public have to be turned away. When you are sat having a mug of tea.

    Please note that the above trains probably won't now run as the TRU has gone back to Derby with equipment failure. Hopefully, the TIC might come out later in the week to recover the track recording. If it does it would be top and tailed by 2 locos, probably 31's.
