Arriva Rail North 150203 (31.09.2019)

As it turned out, one of today's Northern services from Leeds was cancelled in between Sheffield and Nottingham, then throughout on the reverse service and then between Leeds and Sheffield on the service to Lincoln Central due to an issue with the train crew. This 150 here wasn't on those cancelled and amended services though and lucky me catching it at Nottingham from today on this one because 150203 is down for the count on this one as usual, it seen arriving from Leeds at Nottingham before waiting time before then heading back out there on the 14:17 service, it also being on the one before the cancelled 15:17 service. Maybe I would have never known what would have come in from Leeds after this service although a 158 would have probably been most likely. Still though, I'd say not only a good catch but also very good allocating from Northern as well! In fact, they absolutely nailed it for me! Thank goodness I caught this 150 as well because I only caught 158's for Northern, mostly this afternoon and that until this 150 turned up, so at least I managed to catch a 150 for a bit of variety! Of course from what I see here, I accept, so there's this one I guess!

Nottingham Station (25.09.2019)

Nottingham Station is one of the Midland Mainline terminus points as well as being on other lines too and it also includes a high level for the trams as well, hence why this station can be seen as being a lot busier than it was before the phase 2 tram extension.
