Yes, so I understand and I suppose that we should be most humbly grateful that the donkeys will be retired by 2020. It's a pity that disability legislation had to be the driving force, rather than concern for the comfort of the Northern (and Welsh/South Western) traveling public !lenfish wrote:"In the franchise competition eventually won by Arriva, the Government had announced that the Class 14x fleet in use by Northern would have to be withdrawn, with the disabled access deadline of January 1 2020 acting as the catalyst."
It will happen.
