A 150 for 150th Celebrations!

Just the 2 coaches, 3+2 seating though! Don't think Northern/ATW/Merseyrail are expecting it to be that busy. ATW have spruced up Helsby, not that it's ever particularly bad!

I will be on it, mainly just to get the rare track from Ellesmere Port Platform 1 heading towards Stanlow.

Not ONE Merseyrail station could sell me the ticket, they didn't even know what I was talking about. Sorted it with someone else though.

Ahh good, thought it would probably be a 150. As long as its not a 142 . Was kind of hoping for a 156 though as they tend to be the better looked after units in Northerns fleet.

Managed to pick my ticket up at Ellesmere Port stn early this morning no problem.

Given that I will of finished nights just a few hours previous, I'd imagine I wont be hard to spot. Being the rather tired looking one
