Some news this evening
Its been confirmed that the 350/2s will be going to Northern although won't be until from Late 2027.
At the same time it does look like it marks the start for the beginning of the end for the Class 323s in the Northwest
This link to the article from Modern Railways I will leave below
www.modernrailways.com/article/northern-lease-clas…
According to it it says it would operate routes South Manchester routes which probably means doing Manchester Piccadilly - Hadfield via Glossop, Manchester Piccadilly - Stoke-on-Trent and Manchester Piccadilly - Crewe workings.
There was a hint of the 350/2s could do the Northwest on Northern back last summer which according to reports that did some gauge testing between Manchester Piccadilly and Hadfield.
Although by the time the 350/2s enter service on Northern they will be around 19 - 20 years old have first entered service between 2008 and 2009 which probably have at least 10 years of passenger service.
As for the 323s that been around since 1994 they are over 32 years old however you could say their time has come in a way and even Northern have mentioned they are at the end of their working lives so it shouldn't come as a surprise
Some will think its controversial since some of the 323s that were on LNWR on the CrossCity Line had only moved to Northern a few years ago
A lot of rail enthusiasts from the Northwest will have mixed feelings about the 350/2s replacing the 323s
But as we have seen it before and won't be the last time the problem is down to lease cost and maintaining older trains especially if its 30 years old or beyond is more expensive and spare parts eventually will run out.
So whats your view on the 350/2s replacing the 323s on Northern and what routes do you think they would be suited to?
