Early Spring in the West Highlands, the snow remains on the peaks, and the greenery of the hills is yet to come through. The Metro-Cammell built 156, the mainstay of the line for many years eases its way off the Horseshoe curve.

ScotRail Class 156 pulling into Carlisle platform 8 from Dumfries

ScotRail's one leg into England!

These very dirty Class 156s head into Carlisle twice an hour, taking people from Carlisle on the slow line up to Glasgow - that being via Dumfries.

I had the pleasure of doing this route recently, and it was very pretty. It took […]

Filming Trains at Askam 9th April 2025 YouTube video by Dave's Transport Videos

A rarity for me is to film, edit and publish a You Tube video in a single day. We went to Askam on the Cumbrian Coast Line to film trains. Featuring the Midland Pullman HST returning to Gerrards Cross from Carlisle. youtu.be/QvPl9LX3CqM?... #MidlandPullman #Class43 #Class156 #Class68 #UKRailways

This Northern Class 156 really looks like Ex-ScotRail from the interior! This is 156496

I wonder if this unit has actually been on the West Highland Line?

#northerntrains #scotrail #class156 #trains

Time to begin the journey home.

First part is with 156464 and 156428 working 2O84 from Manchester Ox Rd.

Taking as far as Warrington Ctl.

Afternoon from Preston 👋

Fancied a mix up of my usual route to Lancashire however unfortunately I've landed a 150 to Burnley 😭

Back out exploring about!

Today some class 156 action on the Kilmarnock line.

MetCam Marvels: 156418 and 156405 cross at a dark and dingy Manchester Victoria. Only a couple of years prior you could have seen them working EMR regional services...

Good evening everyone, here's 156444 at Lancaster Castle Station @alexhornbyrail.bsky.social @anthony1965.bsky.social #class156

Seems quite apt for today!
I hope the heaters are working! The Metro-Cammell class 156, a very capable multiple unit, albeit showing its age a little these days. Definitely one of the best DMUs I’ve ever worked on. 🔧

Finally the mega traction is in play 😍

I double checked everything and I should be able to clear the Buxton line *TODAY*

156416 and 156401 up first, where to? You'll see! #Class156

Good Afternoon from Lancashire 🌹

I've been called to the North today but not for mega CAF traction. No no it's even better than that. Stay tuned 👀
