Lets see if we can sneak an imposter into this thread! 😁

171402 waits at London Bridge, having arrived on a service from Uckfield on 7th April 2017.

 

Officially neither unit featured in this picture are around today. The 171 has since reverted to a class 170 identity, now running as 170924 on EMT services. The transformation of 455812 beside was a little more radical; meeting its end with the other Southern 455s at Newport last year.

Brand new 170416 stands outside Derby station shortly after emerging from the works in 2004.

Transpennine Express 170306 emerges from the Grindleford end of Totley Tunnel with a Cleethorpes to Manchester Piccadilly service on 30th August 2009.

The same unit earlier the same day, this time at the other end of Totley Tunnel approaching Dore station.  I wish I had released the shutter just a second earlier for both of the above photos, then the cab fronts might not be blurred!

In the same location on the same day, 170515 travels in the opposite direction.

170s were rare at York until Northern started using them on the Harrogate line, but an occasional exception were the TPE units.  170301 arrives on 6th August 2010.

The other near the old junction for the Ashurst Triangle. This was one of the ex Scotrail units that is now with EMR (so technically 170 --> 171 --> 170...
