Northampton
Passengers leaving a Birmingham-bound 350 at Northampton in April 2012. The service splits here, with the other 4-car unit heading for Crewe. They usually marshal two sets with different seat colours and make an announcement along the lines of 'green seats for Birmingham, blue seats for Crewe'. The pneumatically-actuated couplers offer a considerable health and safety advance over the old routine of slipping off the platform and unhooking a chain.
