I really do think that from this angle that the

front end of the new Class 197 units are extremely odd-looking rather like the face of a pug! Awaiting their run out for the day along the North Wales coast on driver training and mileage accumulation runs 197102 and 197101 are seen stabled in Chester's carriage sidings. I'm sure that when they enter service later this year replacing all manner of other units, some much older than others, that they will be a success and welcomed by the travelling public throughout the principality!
