0 Garfield Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 All members of the 121 class apart from 121, 125 and 135 were fitted for push-pull working (although the equipment in 132 was decommissioned after a short time). The push-pull 201s were also used after they entered service: 206-209 and 215-234. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 richrua Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 So I could use 222 with a push pull ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Garfield Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Can't recall off the top my head if silver/green Intercity-liveried 201s worked Mk3 push-pull services but there was a three-year overlap so it's quite possible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Mayner Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 :trains:Used to work near Pearse Station in 2003-4, during off peak periods there used to be a great line up of 201 powered Pushpull Sets stabled between the station and the Boston Sidings. From memory the 201s were in the as delivered paint scheme the large yellow nose scheme was introduced in 2005. Never thought I would get nostalgic about the MK3 Push Pull sets, though I developed similar feelings for Network South East 1st generation DMUs on Bedford-Bletchley & Gospel Oak -Barking trains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hurricanemk1c Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Absolutely you can use IC locos on Mark 3 push/pulls. Not the best shot but: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Railer Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 On the box of MM 222 there is even a photo of 222 hauling a MK3 PP set out of Connolly on a GAA special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
