The [[British Rail]] '''Class 156''' "Super-[[Sprinter (train)|Sprinter]]" is a [[diesel multiple unit]] (DMU). 114 of these units were built from 1987-89 by [[Metro-Cammell]] (now owned by [[Alstom]]) at their [[Washwood Heath]] Works in [[Birmingham]]. They were built to replace elderly [[List of British Rail classes#First Generation "Heritage" DMUs|First Generation "Heritage" DMUs]] and locomotive-hauled passenger trains.


==Description==
[[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] set out to redeem their final day loss of the [[Scottish Premier League]] trophy in '''[[2004-05 in Scottish football|season 2003/04]]''' and win the [[Scottish FA Cup]]. They will compete in the [[Scottish League Cup]].
These units were all built as two-car sets, numbered 156401-514. Each unit was formed of two driving motors, one of which contained a toilet. Individual carriages numbered as follows:
*52401-52514 - Driving Motor Standard Lavatory (DMSL)
*57401-57514 - Driving Motor Standard (DMS)


The vehicles are based on the [[British Rail Mark 3|Mark 3]] bodyshell, and are powered by 6-cylinder [[Cummins]] NT855-R5 diesel engines through [[Voith]] T211r [[hydraulic]] automatic transmissions and [[Gmeinder]] final drive units.<ref>{{cite book |last= |first= |title=The Railway Data File |origyear=1999 |language=English |isbn=9781856054997}}</ref> Unlike the [[British Rail Class 150|Class 150]] units, the 156s have a single leaf sliding door at either end of each coach - this feature reflected the anticipated longer journeys with fewer stops that the Class 156 was supposed to operate. They have a top speed of 75[[mph]], although in practice speeds of around 85 - 90[[mph]] have been observed on level track, though not in regular service.

The first 100 units were all ordered by the [[Regional Railways|Provincial]] sector of [[British Rail]], and therefore carried Provincial livery. Twenty units, nos. 156401-419/422, all based at [[Tyseley]] depot, were later repainted into [[Regional Railways|''Express'' Regional Railways]] livery.

The last fourteen units, nos. 156501-514 were ordered by [[Strathclyde Passenger Transport|Strathclyde PTE]], and carried a distinctive orange black livery. This was later replaced by an attractive carmine and cream livery, reminiscent of the 1950s livery carried by [[British Rail Mark 1|Mk.1 coaching stock]].
==Results==
Results for Celtic F.C. for season 2003-2004.


In the summer of 1989, in connection with celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of [[Nederlandse Spoorwegen]] (NS, the Dutch Railways), British Rail was invited to send a representative example of their most modern train to be exhibited at [[Utrecht]] for two weeks in the summer. Class 156 unit number 156 502 from Glasgow was finally selected - unusual as it was in the Strathclyde Passenger Executive (SPE) livery of orange and black. On 16th June 1989, the unit was driven under its own power from the [[Railway Technical Centre]] by a Derby train crew all the way to [[Netherlands|Holland]]. In those far off days the [[Channel Tunnel]] was just a dream so the [[SNCF]] train ferry was utilised to cross from [[Dover Western Docks]] to [[Dunkirk]] from where the unit was driven through [[France]] and [[Belgium]] to the Dutch border at [[Essen]] and on to Utrecht with help from SNCF, [[SNCB]] and NS train crews. The unit was exhibited along with various items of rolling stock from across [[Europe]] for around two weeks after which it returned to the UK.

!'''Score'''
[[East Midlands Trains]] has a fleet 11 units, based across the network. These units were transferred from [[Central Trains]], and are used on slower medium-distance trains. The fleet is used on a services such as [[Newark Northgate]] to [[Grimsby Town]], [[Peterborough]] to [[Doncaster]] via Lincoln Central, [[Nottingham]] to [[Skegness]], [[Leicester]] to [[Lincoln]] or [[Nottingham]] to [[Worksop]]. However, recently they have been seen working the 5 hour semi-fast journey between [[Liverpool]] and [[Norwich]].

!'''Celtic scorers'''
The fleet has been re-painted by [[East Midlands Trains]] at [[Derby]] Works. All units will be refurbished internally by the end of the franchise in 2015.

=== First ScotRail===
[[First ScotRail]] operates the largest fleet of Class 156 units. They operate on both short distance commuter routes and services of up to five and a half hours ([[Glasgow]] to [[Fort William]] and [[Mallaig]]). Their initial introduction was controversial as they replaced locomotive hauled stock (particularly [[Class 37]] hauled) on these longer routes. Various issues such as limited toilet facilities were cited as criticisms, but they proved to have much lower operating costs. They currently can be seen on many core routes including:
*[[Glasgow South Western Line|Glasgow to Stranraer / Carlisle via Kilmarnock]]
*[[West Highland Line|Glasgow to Oban and Mallaig]]
[[Image:156457 at Oban.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Class 156 no. 156457 at [[Oban railway station|Oban]] on 25 June 2005. This unit is painted in [[ScotRail]] livery, but with [[First Group]] branding.]]
*[[Shotts Line|Glasgow Central to Edinburgh Waverley]] via [[Cambuslang railway station|Cambuslang]], [[Bellshill railway station|Bellshill]] and [[Shotts railway station|Shotts]].
They are also used on Glasgow local services. These services are worked by units nos. 156500-514, which are operated by [[Strathclyde Partnership for Transport]] and are currently painted in their carmine and cream livery. These units in particular are often seen working through to [[Newcastle]] on two services per day (from [[Girvan]] and [[Stranraer]]) as these services are jointly operated by First ScotRail and Northern Rail.
*Glasgow to [[Paisley Canal]]
*Glasgow to [[Whifflet]]
*Glasgow to [[Anniesland]] via [[Maryhill]]
*Glasgow to [[East Kilbride]]


In reality, both fleets are entirely interchangeable (except only [[Radio Electronic Token Block]] (RETB) fitted units can operate the West Highland Line) and both liveries can be seen on any 156 route.

Class 156s also operate out of [[Glasgow Queen Street]] to [[Stirling]], [[Dunblane]], [[Cumbernauld]] and [[Falkirk]]. These services are worked by both First ScotRail and [[SPT]] liveried Units. 156s are also often seen working out of [[Edinburgh Waverley]] to [[West Calder]], [[Newcraighall]], [[Bathgate]], [[Dunblane]], [[Perth, Scotland|Perth]], [[Kirkaldy]] and [[Fife Circle]] services. Again, both liveries can be seen.

In September 2008 the [[Scottish Government]]'s agency [[Transport Scotland]] announced that all ''ScotRail'' trains (including from the [[Strathclyde Partnership for Transport]]) would be eventually repainted in a new, blue livery with white [[Saltire]] markings on the carriage ends. This will be applied to all Class 156s operating in Scotland. [http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/ScotRail-25th-anniversary]

156450, in [[Regional Railways]] ScotRail livery, was bought by Tickford and was refurbished with four different seating arrangements.

===National Express East Anglia===
[[Image:Cambridge-156416-02.jpg|thumb|right|250px|'one' operated Class 156 at Cambridge on 13 May 2006]]
In early 2005, [['one']] started to receive several former [[Central Trains]] Class 156 units, which were exchanged for [[British Rail Class 150|Class 150]] units. The newer Class 156 units are more suitable for several of the longer-distance routes, and also provide extra passenger accommodation and to compliment [[British Rail Class 153|Class 153]] units. The units will be used on [[Bittern Line|Norwich-Cromer-Sheringham]], [[Wherry Lines|Norwich-Great Yarmouth/Lowestoft]], [[East Suffolk Line|Ipswich-Lowestoft/Felixstowe]], [[Sudbury Branch Line|Marks Tey-Sudbury]] local services, as well as longer distance [[Norwich]]-[[Cambridge]] and [[Ipswich]]-[[Cambridge]]/[[Peterborough]] services.

The first units to be transferred to 'one'/National Express East Anglia had already been refurbished and were therefore painted in either Central Trains' green livery or white undercoat. However, the later units were repainted into the distinctive 'one' "rainbow" livery as they passed through works for refurbishment. National Express East Anglia now have a fleet of nine 156s, one train (156419) is in the new National Express East Anglia livery, two are in Central Livery, five in 'one' Livery and the unique 156402 currently in White with blue Chapelfield advertising livery. The first unit to be transferred to [[Norwich Crown Point]] [[traction maintenance depot]] (NC TMD) was white 156402 in exchange for 150235.

=== Northern Rail ===
[[Image:156451 at Lancaster.JPG|right|thumb|250px|Class 156, no. 156451 at [[Lancaster railway station|Lancaster]] on 1st April 2005. This unit carries the first version of [[Northern Rail]] livery.]]
Northern Rail’s 156s have two different interiors: one is dark blue with seating common to 156s (former [[First North Western]] units), the other is green with seating similar to that found on many [[British Rail Class 158|Class 158]] units (former [[Arriva Trains Northern]] units). The former Arriva Trains Northern units appear to have more comfortable seating. However, although the seating was designed to be comfortable for people of average height, it can be very uncomfortable for taller people as there is less leg room, and it is therefore unpopular with taller people. On the former First North Western units the seating is in good condition, although the carpets are in a very poor state. Since Northern Rail have taken over, former Arriva Trains Northern trains can be found on former First North Western routes and vice versa. Six former Arriva Trains Northern Class 156 units were transferred to the North West by [[Merseyrail]] to replace some overcrowded [[British Rail Class 142|Class 142]] [[Pacer (train)|Pacer]] units in the [[Merseyside]] area. However, this was only after more than 20 extra Class 158s had been introduced in Yorkshire (a former Arriva Trains Northern area).

Northern Rail has so far introduced three new liveries. The first, carried by no. 156451, is mainly purple ([[mauve]]), but with white bands. The second livery, as carried by nos. 156425/460/464 is the inverse of the first livery. The final livery, first applied to no. 156461, is similar to the second livery, but with the white replaced by blue. There have also been several units with vinyls applied showing images of the Northern region - one of [[Eskdale, Cumbria]], showing the [[Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway]] (156461); one of various destinations on the [[Settle and Carlisle Railway]] (156484); another advertising the [[Sheffield]]-[[Leeds]] FAST service (156469), which has now been removed; one marketing the [[Tyne Valley Line]] and [[Hadrian's Wall]] (156448) and another celebrating 40 years since the end of steam on British Railways and the [[National Railway Museum]]'s "1968 and all that" event (156490).

== Former operations ==
===Central Trains===
[[Image:156410 at Nottingham.JPG|thumb|right|250px|156410 at [[Nottingham]] on 24th September 2003 in [[Central Trains]] livery, with a service to [[Worcester]].]]
[[Central Trains]] had a fleet of 11 units, based across the network. In the last days of [[Regional Railways]], the class was repainted into a version of Regional Railways Express (as per the [[Class 158]] original livery). Central Trains then repainted its fleet to its own green and yellow livery, these units are used on faster long-distance trains. The fleet was used on a wide variety of services including [[Birmingham]] to [[Nottingham]] via Derby or Leicester, [[Birmingham]] to [[Hereford]], [[Birmingham]] to [[Shrewsbury]] and [[Nottingham]] to [[Skegness]] or [[Lincoln, Lincolnshire|Lincoln]].

At one time Central Trains had a larger fleet of Class 156s, but some of these were replaced with newer [[British Rail Class 170|Class 170 ''Turbostar'']] trains and the Class 156 units went to [[First North Western]]. These are now operated by [[Northern Rail]], although some of the Central Trains passenger notices have still not been removed.

In 2003, Central Trains proposed to swap its Class 156 fleet with [[ScotRail]] [[British Rail Class 158|Class 158]] units, which would be better suited to longer distance journeys. However, this deal fell through, although one unit, no. 156402, was repainted in ScotRail livery without brandings. Since then, Central Trains refurbished their fleet at [[Doncaster]] Works.

In early 2005, a number of Central Trains Class 156 units were transferred to [['one']] Anglia, in exchange for [[British Rail Class 150|Class 150]] units.

All units were transferred to [[East Midlands Trains]] after the Central franchise ended.

British Rail Class 156 "Super-Sprinter"
Class 156419 at Sudbury station, newly repainted into the National Express East Anglia livery, with a service to Marks Tey.
Specifications
Car length23m

The British Rail Class 156 "Super-Sprinter" is a diesel multiple unit (DMU). 114 of these units were built from 1987-89 by Metro-Cammell (now owned by Alstom) at their Washwood Heath Works in Birmingham. They were built to replace elderly First Generation "Heritage" DMUs and locomotive-hauled passenger trains.

Description

These units were all built as two-car sets, numbered 156401-514. Each unit was formed of two driving motors, one of which contained a toilet. Individual carriages numbered as follows:

  • 52401-52514 - Driving Motor Standard Lavatory (DMSL)
  • 57401-57514 - Driving Motor Standard (DMS)

The vehicles are based on the Mark 3 bodyshell, and are powered by 6-cylinder Cummins NT855-R5 diesel engines through Voith T211r hydraulic automatic transmissions and Gmeinder final drive units.[1] Unlike the Class 150 units, the 156s have a single leaf sliding door at either end of each coach - this feature reflected the anticipated longer journeys with fewer stops that the Class 156 was supposed to operate. They have a top speed of 75mph, although in practice speeds of around 85 - 90mph have been observed on level track, though not in regular service.

The first 100 units were all ordered by the Provincial sector of British Rail, and therefore carried Provincial livery. Twenty units, nos. 156401-419/422, all based at Tyseley depot, were later repainted into Express Regional Railways livery.

The last fourteen units, nos. 156501-514 were ordered by Strathclyde PTE, and carried a distinctive orange black livery. This was later replaced by an attractive carmine and cream livery, reminiscent of the 1950s livery carried by Mk.1 coaching stock.

In the summer of 1989, in connection with celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS, the Dutch Railways), British Rail was invited to send a representative example of their most modern train to be exhibited at Utrecht for two weeks in the summer. Class 156 unit number 156 502 from Glasgow was finally selected - unusual as it was in the Strathclyde Passenger Executive (SPE) livery of orange and black. On 16th June 1989, the unit was driven under its own power from the Railway Technical Centre by a Derby train crew all the way to Holland. In those far off days the Channel Tunnel was just a dream so the SNCF train ferry was utilised to cross from Dover Western Docks to Dunkirk from where the unit was driven through France and Belgium to the Dutch border at Essen and on to Utrecht with help from SNCF, SNCB and NS train crews. The unit was exhibited along with various items of rolling stock from across Europe for around two weeks after which it returned to the UK.

Current operations

After privatisation, the Class 156 fleet was split between several franchises, which are described below.

East Midlands Trains

East Midlands Trains 156405 at Lincoln in April 2008

East Midlands Trains has a fleet 11 units, based across the network. These units were transferred from Central Trains, and are used on slower medium-distance trains. The fleet is used on a services such as Newark Northgate to Grimsby Town, Peterborough to Doncaster via Lincoln Central, Nottingham to Skegness, Leicester to Lincoln or Nottingham to Worksop. However, recently they have been seen working the 5 hour semi-fast journey between Liverpool and Norwich.

The fleet has been re-painted by East Midlands Trains at Derby Works. All units will be refurbished internally by the end of the franchise in 2015.

First ScotRail

First ScotRail operates the largest fleet of Class 156 units. They operate on both short distance commuter routes and services of up to five and a half hours (Glasgow to Fort William and Mallaig). Their initial introduction was controversial as they replaced locomotive hauled stock (particularly Class 37 hauled) on these longer routes. Various issues such as limited toilet facilities were cited as criticisms, but they proved to have much lower operating costs. They currently can be seen on many core routes including:

Class 156 no. 156457 at Oban on 25 June 2005. This unit is painted in ScotRail livery, but with First Group branding.

They are also used on Glasgow local services. These services are worked by units nos. 156500-514, which are operated by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport and are currently painted in their carmine and cream livery. These units in particular are often seen working through to Newcastle on two services per day (from Girvan and Stranraer) as these services are jointly operated by First ScotRail and Northern Rail.

In reality, both fleets are entirely interchangeable (except only Radio Electronic Token Block (RETB) fitted units can operate the West Highland Line) and both liveries can be seen on any 156 route.

Class 156s also operate out of Glasgow Queen Street to Stirling, Dunblane, Cumbernauld and Falkirk. These services are worked by both First ScotRail and SPT liveried Units. 156s are also often seen working out of Edinburgh Waverley to West Calder, Newcraighall, Bathgate, Dunblane, Perth, Kirkaldy and Fife Circle services. Again, both liveries can be seen.

In September 2008 the Scottish Government's agency Transport Scotland announced that all ScotRail trains (including from the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport) would be eventually repainted in a new, blue livery with white Saltire markings on the carriage ends. This will be applied to all Class 156s operating in Scotland. [1]

156450, in Regional Railways ScotRail livery, was bought by Tickford and was refurbished with four different seating arrangements.

National Express East Anglia

'one' operated Class 156 at Cambridge on 13 May 2006

In early 2005, 'one' started to receive several former Central Trains Class 156 units, which were exchanged for Class 150 units. The newer Class 156 units are more suitable for several of the longer-distance routes, and also provide extra passenger accommodation and to compliment Class 153 units. The units will be used on Norwich-Cromer-Sheringham, Norwich-Great Yarmouth/Lowestoft, Ipswich-Lowestoft/Felixstowe, Marks Tey-Sudbury local services, as well as longer distance Norwich-Cambridge and Ipswich-Cambridge/Peterborough services.

The first units to be transferred to 'one'/National Express East Anglia had already been refurbished and were therefore painted in either Central Trains' green livery or white undercoat. However, the later units were repainted into the distinctive 'one' "rainbow" livery as they passed through works for refurbishment. National Express East Anglia now have a fleet of nine 156s, one train (156419) is in the new National Express East Anglia livery, two are in Central Livery, five in 'one' Livery and the unique 156402 currently in White with blue Chapelfield advertising livery. The first unit to be transferred to Norwich Crown Point traction maintenance depot (NC TMD) was white 156402 in exchange for 150235.

Northern Rail

Class 156, no. 156451 at Lancaster on 1st April 2005. This unit carries the first version of Northern Rail livery.

Northern Rail’s 156s have two different interiors: one is dark blue with seating common to 156s (former First North Western units), the other is green with seating similar to that found on many Class 158 units (former Arriva Trains Northern units). The former Arriva Trains Northern units appear to have more comfortable seating. However, although the seating was designed to be comfortable for people of average height, it can be very uncomfortable for taller people as there is less leg room, and it is therefore unpopular with taller people. On the former First North Western units the seating is in good condition, although the carpets are in a very poor state. Since Northern Rail have taken over, former Arriva Trains Northern trains can be found on former First North Western routes and vice versa. Six former Arriva Trains Northern Class 156 units were transferred to the North West by Merseyrail to replace some overcrowded Class 142 Pacer units in the Merseyside area. However, this was only after more than 20 extra Class 158s had been introduced in Yorkshire (a former Arriva Trains Northern area).

Northern Rail has so far introduced three new liveries. The first, carried by no. 156451, is mainly purple (mauve), but with white bands. The second livery, as carried by nos. 156425/460/464 is the inverse of the first livery. The final livery, first applied to no. 156461, is similar to the second livery, but with the white replaced by blue. There have also been several units with vinyls applied showing images of the Northern region - one of Eskdale, Cumbria, showing the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (156461); one of various destinations on the Settle and Carlisle Railway (156484); another advertising the Sheffield-Leeds FAST service (156469), which has now been removed; one marketing the Tyne Valley Line and Hadrian's Wall (156448) and another celebrating 40 years since the end of steam on British Railways and the National Railway Museum's "1968 and all that" event (156490).

Former operations

Central Trains

156410 at Nottingham on 24th September 2003 in Central Trains livery, with a service to Worcester.

Central Trains had a fleet of 11 units, based across the network. In the last days of Regional Railways, the class was repainted into a version of Regional Railways Express (as per the Class 158 original livery). Central Trains then repainted its fleet to its own green and yellow livery, these units are used on faster long-distance trains. The fleet was used on a wide variety of services including Birmingham to Nottingham via Derby or Leicester, Birmingham to Hereford, Birmingham to Shrewsbury and Nottingham to Skegness or Lincoln.

At one time Central Trains had a larger fleet of Class 156s, but some of these were replaced with newer Class 170 Turbostar trains and the Class 156 units went to First North Western. These are now operated by Northern Rail, although some of the Central Trains passenger notices have still not been removed.

In 2003, Central Trains proposed to swap its Class 156 fleet with ScotRail Class 158 units, which would be better suited to longer distance journeys. However, this deal fell through, although one unit, no. 156402, was repainted in ScotRail livery without brandings. Since then, Central Trains refurbished their fleet at Doncaster Works.

In early 2005, a number of Central Trains Class 156 units were transferred to 'one' Anglia, in exchange for Class 150 units.

All units were transferred to East Midlands Trains after the Central franchise ended.
