Editing Arriva Trains Northern (section)

==Rolling stock==
Arriva Trains Northern inherited a fleet of [[British Rail Class 142|Class 142]], [[British Rail Class 144|Class 144]], [[British Rail Class 150|Class 150]], [[British Rail Class 153|Class 153]], [[British Rail Class 155|Class 155]], [[British Rail Class 156|Class 156]], [[British Rail Class 158|Class 158]], [[British Rail Class 308|Class 308]] and [[British Rail Class 321|Class 321s]] from [[Regional Railways]].

In September 1998, Northern Spirit traded seven of its Class 142s (142085-091) to [[Valley Lines (train operating company)|Valley Lines]] in exchange for seven Class 150s (150268-274),<ref>{{cite magazine |title= Northern Spirit and Cardiff swap DMUs |magazine= [[Rail Magazine]] |issue=340 |date= 23 September 1998 |page=9}}</ref> although between October and December 2002 these were swapped for unrefurbished units 142072-77 and 142080-083, as 142086-091 had only recently been refurbished by Northern Spirit and Valley Lines wished to start their own refurbishment from scratch. In January 2001, the first of 16 [[British Rail Class 333|Class 333s]] ordered to replace the Class 308s, entered service.<ref>{{cite magazine |title= RRNE confirms orders for 16 Class 333 EMUs for West Yorkshire |magazine= [[Rail Magazine]] |issue=327 |date= 25 March 1998 |page=10}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |title= Arriva's Northern Spirit Class 333 EMU is delivered |magazine= [[Rail Magazine]] |issue=379 |date= 22 March 2000 |page=7}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |title= Class 333s in service at last |magazine= [[The Railway Magazine]] |issue=1199 |date= March 2001 |page=11}}</ref>

A shortage of available rolling stock to meet increasing demand led Arriva Trains Northern to lease [[British Rail Class 37|Class 37s]] and ex [[Virgin CrossCountry]] [[British Rail Mark 2|Mark 2 carriages]] from [[DB Cargo UK|English Welsh & Scottish]] to top and tail a daily service from [[Leeds railway station|Leeds]] to [[Carlisle railway station|Carlisle]] for 12 months from September 2003.<ref>{{cite magazine |title= EWS 37s for Leeds-Carlisle Arriva trains |magazine= [[Rail Magazine]] |issue=466 |date= 23 July 2003 |page=16}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |title= Arriva Trains Northern to run loco-hauled service over S&C |magazine= [[Rail Express]] |issue=87 |date= August 2003 |page=5}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |title= Loco-hauled trains back on the S&C |magazine= [[The Railway Magazine]] |issue=1229 |date= September 2003 |page=7}}</ref> It also operated a peak hour [[Knaresborough railway station|Knaresborough]] to Leeds service.<ref>{{cite magazine |title= Arriva settles with EWS |magazine= [[Rail Magazine]] |issue=480 |date= 4 February 2004 |page=40}}</ref>

Some of the rolling stock was owned by the [[West Yorkshire Metro|West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive]] and these were repainted red and silver with the Metro logos of the passenger transport executive.<ref>{{cite magazine |title= New look for West Yorkshire units |magazine= [[Rail Magazine]] |issue=344 |date= 18 November 1998 |page=8}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |title= West Yorkshire PTE unveils new Class 158 livery |magazine= [[The Railway Magazine]] |issue=1173 |date= January 1999 |page=56}}</ref>
