Thanks for coming Nick! Hope you enjoyed it!

You learn something new with this video, didn't knew they use SD Cards for their route card database. This is a Fascinating video Nick and thanks for showing us.
-
David is an absolute legend at Northern!
-
Omg! Nick is this like a prequel to you joining Northern!? 🎉🎉 So fun!
-
Thank you for the interesting insight Nick. I think all trains should have"Nick loves 150/1s" haha
-
This is a really well put together video, well done! As someone who has to use it daily I was disappointed they didn't show you the secret settings page that causes it to take 10 seconds from pressing the PA button to going into PA mode, or the one where the GPS is invalid and then suddenly starts working half way through the journey. It looks like you also missed out on a free wet ear from the handset where someone left the cab window open in the rain. Those trainFX units on the 150s and 156s, being where they are now, get far more water ingress than I'd consider healthy for most electricals!

5:21 so true. 😂
-
You're so lucky to get an invitation to see the announcements being changed! I'll definitely miss the older ones bit it seems the new ones are now getting rolled out on all of Northern's trains.
-
Absolutely brilliant! Very interesting!!
-
Oh wow that is a really cool video!! It's interesting how easily the announcements can be swapped out and it makes sense since the announcements are all different for each TOC and are changed when units are on lease, such as the some of the Northern Sprinters being used by TfW. For the rail infrastructure nerd I am, this has been amazing to watch
-
this is awesome! pretty cool you got invited on for this.
-
Wow, thats cool! Wish i could have been there... glad you had fun mate, cheers for sharing with us :)

The best Northern announcements are onboard 150269 and 150270 and its a lady who says "Welcome aboard, we will be calling at the following principal stations: Grangetown, Cogan, Eastbrook, Dinas Powys, Cadoxton, Barry Docks, Barry and Barry Island. Thank you" for example
-
Brilliant video Nick, it's very interesting to see how they update the announcements on the trains. :)
-

-
