I wouldn't' be surprised if mechanical condition has more to do with it than seat design.

Dunno, driver out of hours today as much as anything, delayed due to paperwork issues on East Mids and Birmingham.

Pacers went through Tamworth lots of times in the past while on the various West Country to Newton Heath Jaunts, so I'm guessing not too many issues on that front.

Just because something once went somewhere doesn’t mean it’s cleared for all time, nor does once possessing the correct paperwork mean you don’t have to bother with it in the future.

Ah 142050, the final unit of the first batch of 142s and the first unit trial fitted with the Cummins engine and Voith transmission. Bit historically significant in the annals of Pacer development, that one.
I’m a bit surprised they sent 096, the last one made for scrap

One of my favourites that one.

Anyway, does anyone know which one is today's 5Z35, 12:27½ Sheffield to Worksop please?

All these pacers being withdrawn particularly at Heaton and I dont see any internal stock moves to replace them. Did I read Heaton was to get more 156s and 158s.

As one of Heaton's first 142s and one of only a handful to carry Northern Spirit livery (Being one of three, along with 142065/066, to retain their original Provincial livery until privatisation), I've always considered it quite a prominent member of the class.

Yes, Heaton will ultimately have allocated Northern's 16 Perkins engined 158s in the 1588xx series, and I believe all but 16 of Northern's 156s.
