The BR Class 175 "Coradia" DMU's are owned by Angel Trains and were originally leased to First North Western, before being transferred to Arriva Trains Wales and then latterly, Transport for Wales.
27 sets were built by Alstom at Washwood Heath, Birmingham, between 1999 and 2001, with the first sets entering into service in 2000. They were constructed in two formations: the two-carriage units are numbered 175001–011, and the three-carriage units 175101–116.
Initially, they were operated by First North Western (FNW) from Birmingham New Street, Crewe and Manchester to Llandudno, Holyhead, Barrow and Windermere.
All of the units passed with the Wales & Borders franchise to Arriva Trains Wales in October 2003, when their sphere of operation extended to South Wales. 11 units though, were leased back to First Trans Pennine Express for the Barrow and Windermere services until 2006, when that franchise acquired their Class 185 units.
In October 2018, all passed to Transport for Wales, who have initiated a refurbishment programme at the Alstom facility in Widnes. It is intended to introduce them on services to Bristol but it is likely that they will be replaced by Class 197's by 2023.

We started off the day by grabbing some lunch and went swimming at the Venetian pools. There were so many pools to choose from... crazy. This is when it got kind of crazy since Kevin, here, lost his ID in the pool. Vegas without an ID = GG. Surprisingly, I was able to find it in the middle of pool after we were about to give up. Talk about lucky, man.
The night was just crazy after that after we made our way to Marquee. Apparently, I am kind of angry when I'm really gone. I started to get really pissed when we couldn't get in even though we supposed to be on a "guest list." Luckily, again, we were pulled to a separate line on the rooftop and made our way in. By the time I bought some more drinks in the club, I was really drunk haha. Fun times though. We walked the strip until the sun rose after that. That's one night I'll remember forever... or the parts I can remember at least.

Blah, blah, blah! So this is from Coraline. . . kind of. lol No, I don't like it . . . but I don't have anything better, or a better idea. I was planning on doing a cheesey/creepy smile, but I hate my smile most days. So I did a smirk, and it just doens't fit. And yes, this is suppost to be if Coraline did get her buttons. . . whatever. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

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.

no injuries in class today. woo! lots to do before we leave friday, but i wanted a grand finale to the bubbles (and had so much fun with them--they're so unpredictable. i miss being a kid!). other bubbles i could have done but didn't at this time: champagne and a bubble bath. oh well.
my mom just grabbed one of my sour patch kids and ate it. i started to tell her she wouldn't like it, but the look on her face was pretty great, so i'm glad i didn't.
