Hello, and welcome back to another train trip report on my channel! For this week's video I will be travelling with Northern, and on one of their brand-new Class 195 'Civity UK' units from CAF. These diesel units are best known for being the replacement of the infamous Class 142 'Pacer' railbuses.
The trains are a vast step up from the Class 142/150/153/155/156 units which they replace, thanks to their clean and spacious interiors, welcoming design, greatly enhanced accessibility, air conditioning, and of course the fact that they aren't based on a Leyland National Bus!
Today's route starts in Liverpool Lime Street, before a quick ride to Liverpool South Parkway, an interchange for the airport. After this we turn past Allerton depot, before running to Warrington, then into the highly congested Manchester Piccadilly through platforms.
Learn more about the experience on these new trains for Northern in this latest video on my channel.
