Widened lines questions 1970s period

[darren chpamn]

Hi 

I have a few questions with regarding  the widened lines  

Does anyone have any information on 116 set formations that ran on the line I can find any set numbers of set formations anywhere online 

 

Where the mk1 steam heated or electric 

 

What information is on the end of mk1 coaches  other than( kings cross inner) 

 Regards darren

Very few diesel mechanical railcars ever ran in fixed sets so numbers were not applied.

 

No non-gangwayed loco-hauled Mk1s ever had electric heating ..... er, that I know of !

I won't take away the undoubted pleasure that you will derive from reading through my 116 thread so here is the short version.  116s appeared on peak services from the Midland and were based on Cricklewood.  Formations of three power cars and one trailer were used.  Cricklewood depot was not noted for keeping sets in formation.
