I don't think that's that many single 153 diagrams elsewhere Ormskirk-Preston can get one as can Huddersfield-Wakefield but there's a number running round attached to other Sprinters especially on the Clitheroe line and in the Leeds area. |

RE: Northern Rail
If the Arriva Rail North website gives any kind of clue as to the new style logo, it will probably revolve around a lower case 'n' as opposed to the present upper case. |

RE: Northern Rail
That may be the case but there is only a certain amount of ways you can actually use the Northern name . Time for Transport for the North to implement a standard livery for this franchise . All the stations should have standard station signs as well irrespective of franchise |

It's OK in PTE areas where complaints can be directed at the PTE but complaining to Northern about Chester could mean a month after submitting a compliant all you have is a response saying they don't manage Chester and have forwarded the complaint on to ATW who manage the station. |

Maybe a standard design station name boards with a place across the bottom for a emblem of the company . Its when franchisee changes hands that a lot of money gets spent , removing previous operators emblems of stations , station signs and trains . Then you get the trains running round in all sorts of liveries maybe not the case for Northern but you only had to look at EMT and London Midland for a while with units running around in Central Trains livery. |
