A Scenic Departure: Northern Trains 170475 Bids Farewell to Nostalgic Knaresborough Station

British Rail Class 170/4 "Turbostar" diesel multiple unit number 170475 was built by Adtranz at the Derby Litchurch Lane Works. This three-car passenger train is powered by three MTU 6R 183 TD13H inline-six four-stroke turbo-diesel engines, with one engine per car generating 422 brake horsepower for a total unit output of 1,266 horsepower, driven through a Voith hydrokinetic transmission system capable of a maximum speed of 100 mph. Originally entering service in Scotland under National Express ScotRail and later carrying the First ScotRail and ScotRail Saltire liveries, the unit was transferred south to Northern in March 2018 to bolster services on the Harrogate line. The unit currently operates in the standard Northern Trains blue, white, and teal livery, serving regional routes across the North of England.
