25901 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Can’t see its number from where I am but there’s been a 142 dumped at Rochdale today, something to do with all Rochdale/Southport trains being cancelled. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the info. We will have to keep an eye out then for the later pacer withdrawals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially on the NYMR as even on a normal day trains are quite full. Full up and squashed in would be even more realistic then. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 9, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Well, 142029 has just arrived at Worksop. Presumably it joins the others waiting to be scrapped. Here’s a link to RTT: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/N18001/2019-12-09/detailed There are paths to Worksop each day of this week. I’ve seen a photo’ posted on the other forum showing 142005 reduced to it’s underframe. That will soon be gone too from the speed of the scrapping. Regards, Rob.

I have no further details as of yet as to which railways these are, but when I do I will post here. I am sure that this is a proposal to which the late Colonel Stephens would be able to give his approval as they are a marginal update to his renowned railcars. I trust that the likes of the K&ESR and EKR will be preparing their bids! Just the thing for rural by-ways with jointed track . . . David 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 9, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) It gets more and more interesting.

David Yes it will be good to still have some that are intact and not scrapped. Even if said railways only intend to keep them for static viewing by the public it's better than not having any left at all to look at. 58 minutes ago, Market65 said: It gets more and more interesting.

Thanks for posting. Mick mentioned earlier on this thread that Freightliner and GBRf have been contracted to remove any pacers required to be loco hauled for scrap. So it could be a Freightliner 66 or a GBRf 47 or 66 out of their fleets I would think if a loco is to be used. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 10, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 10, 2019 According to live.rail-record the issue is something called QM - STP schedule timings issue. It was certainly very late into Derby at 147 minutes late. Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s emailed them a few times but no response. Even got a quote from a shipping company to take it to the other side of the pond and transport by road to Arizona. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
