Talk:Northern Trains

Proposed Merge

I have noticed that This is Paul has created a similar page (Northern Trains). Same scope and subject, not sure which page is best as destination, please discuss. PinkPanda272 (talk/contribs) 19:06, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

I didn't know we had this one when I created my version, but we definitely need to merge the two. Also this is the older article and has more information. I'd suggest titling it Northern Trains to avoid any confusion since we already have a Northern (train operating company) article (which this will become on 1 March) and the name Northern Trains is being used by media.

I agree it should be merged and the page should be called Northern Trains to avoid confusion. MainLine45 talk 19:43, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Article name

I have initiated a discussion at here that relates to the name of this article. Kloncoop (talk) 02:50, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

I think and agree that the page should have the title "Northern Trains", I'd even recommend it be changed now rather than waiting until 1 March 2020. Superdry19 (talk) 00:30, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

So far the brand name has yet to be announced.[1] The current article name is more of a placeholder pending a trading name being announced, and while Northern Trains has been used in the press, this is more to do with its legal name of Northern Trains Limited rather than any confirmation that this will be the trading name. Similar to the way the current Northern article was originally named Arriva Rail North and Avanti West Coast was West Coast Rail until their brands were announced. Only proposing to keep the status quo to avoid a whole load of redirects being created. Kloncoop (talk) 06:46, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

144s

According to the article, Northern Trains had 46 144s, as there are 23 showing in current fleet and 23 showing in past fleet. As they in fact only had 23, should be one or the other. Anamyd (talk) 20:33, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

I believe they should be in the current fleet until officialy withdrawn. Pepper Gaming (talk) 17:01, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

142s

The 142s have just received extended dispensation. Plans to run them around Greater Manchester. Should these be part of the “past fleet” section? Zackhally (talk) 19:29, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Class 180

Are Northern still using a class 180 leased from Grand Central for the peak time service to Hebden Bridge

[Proposal] Changing the logo

I am aware that the logo has recently been changed. However, the logo is not the real one, as you can see from this photo found on Northern's website

Therefore I feel that it should be changed; I'll change it now, if you feel that it shouldn't be changed, just revert my edit, thank you. MiquelonAtTheMochi (talk) 14:20, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

I can't do it, but at least, why did Wikipedia Commons eat shit and delete the actual and real life logo...

31 150/2s

I thought there were 28 in the fleet. Have 3 recently joined or something...? Anamyd (talk) 06:26, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Citations for Services (which Stock)

Hello.
As I am currently translating the article BR_Class_195 into German, I've looked a bit around, and seen, that theres no citations what-ever for any of the train stock which are used on the routes. It could be me and I am just blind, but can you please provide a reference where the train class is stated with the route?
Thank you!
