I spoke to a Northern driver today & he said the correct way to drive a 156 is to start in notch 3 & then go up to notch 6 & then full power when over 10 mph

[RianTrace84]

Was this train running late? It sounds like the driver is pulling away in notch 7

@RianTrace84 It was running on time.

@RianTrace84 Full-throttle acceleration is pretty normal on DMUs, especially on commuter routes like this one. If anything, the driver is being less aggressive than I remember from the 1990s, as he is waiting a couple of seconds (for the transmission to engage) before throwing in full power.

@RianTrace84 they always do pull away at full power
