    Brief

    Northern Trains Limited is seeking to temporarily lease additional Class 156 two-car diesel multiple units to support passenger rail operations on the Northumberland line. The lease is funded by the North East Mayoral Strategic Authority (NEMSA) and will be sourced from ScotRail Trains Limited. The arrangement allows for flexible sub-leasing to other operators on a short-term basis (under 48 hours) or longer term with consent. The lease permits transfer of all rights and obligations to other public sector companies operating on the Northern Network. Both Northern Trains and the lessor may request modifications to the rolling stock as needed, including modifications required by law. This is a temporary leasing arrangement to meet operational capacity needs on regional rail services.
