158810 Scarborough

            A familiar sight across the TrainsPennine network for many years, the Class 158 Express DMUs replaced the Class 47-hauled services between Newcastle and Liverpool, with the TPE fleet featuring a centre car for additional capacity, unlike other '158s'. On privatisation, the Regional Railways North East franchise was awarded to MTL, and branded as Northern Spirit. The express services used the TransPennine sub-brand, with the Northern Spirit turquoise replaced by maroon. These units also operated the Scarborough to Blackpool route. 158810 is pictured accelerating under the magnificent signal gantry at Falsgrave, just outside Scarborough, with the 1157 to Blackpool North. 158810 subsequently lost it's centre car and moved to Central Trains, and then joined the East Midlands Railway fleet. The mechanical signalling survived until 2010, with the gantry subsequently preserved at Grosmont on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
