Still in Arriva trains livery 175 104 rolls into Crewe working 1V42, the 12.31 Manchester Piccadilly to Milford Haven. Wed 28.10.2020.
Not sure why but the local nickname of "Hippos" for these 175 units is appropriate somehow. They had a troubled introduction into service with many teething troubles. Built by Alstom they are not going to be repeated following closure of the UK factory and after the troubled service record. Spoilt by the garish exterior and especially interior colour scheme as well as the ridiculously bright internal lighting these are attractive DMUs with their Mk£ carriage-like big side windows and easy on the eye front end styling. This one has the re-branded Arrriva Trains livery and is seen departing Crewe for Manchester.
