Class 156 Northern Rail + WAN

By Superalbs

The Class 156 diesel multiple units were built in 1987 by Metro-Cammell at Washwood Heath, Birmingham. A total of 114x 2 car units were built to replace early first-generation DMUs and some loco-hauled trains on routes ranging from Anglia to Scotland.

The units have a similar design to that of the Class 150/2, with major differences including the longer body, and doors at the end of the carriage rather than towards the centre. Class 156s have a top speed of 75mph.

Northern Rail have a substantial fleet of forty-two units, which are used all across the North, with two main depots, these being Allerton TMD (Liverpool), and Heaton TMD (Newcastle).
