142095
This unit gave an excellent run on a Manchester Piccadilly-Southport, reaching some great speeds, very good for an ex-store unit.
Worst Class 142
142067
This still deserves the worst unit title! After being in store for a couple of months 142067 is back heavily graffitied, cold and unwelcoming, store has done this unit no good, and should be kept on Kirkby line.
Best Class 150
150134
The unique 150134 in it's plain blue livery, superb unit and clean, puts up good perfomances, meanning it can be used on Stoppers or Expresses.
Worst Class 150
150225
150225 didn't sound healthy in Lime Street the other day, and sounded a bit worrying! Bit shabby as well.
Best Class 153

1533XX No Class 153 reviews this month
This unit is great. It has an amazing roar and is superb acclerator running on time/early on it's Liverpool-Wigan service. And for August it still deserves the title
156471 It's hard to choose a worst 156 as I really like them so 156471, for still having graffiti since April, no fault of Northern, just the vandals who done it.
