197102, 16.10 Chester-Llandudno Junction (3D07, 3E), Chester station
The face of things to come at Chester! 197102 waits
at Chester station to leave with the 3D07 16.10 staff training working to Llandudno Junction. The train's interior was covered in plastic and cardboard with just a pair of tables in use at either end just behind the leading and trailing cabs. Here staff were ensconcing themselves taking their turn to walk through the bulkhead door and rive the unit. These units will transform the railways throughout the northwest replacing many classes of other units currently in use with both Northern and Transport for Wales.
