sure everyone has a particular run they'd love to do on one. For me, the Far North line!
I'd love to see on on the Sheffield Supertram route from Cathedral to Meadowhall. All them gradients and sharp curves would be amazing!
The Steel City finally gets its long-overdue roller-coaster...
The Far North may be a Pace Too Far for me! My favourite pacer line was the Esk Valley and I'd like to do this again. Actually I think the S&C would be a good line to be worked by pacers if someone could get their act together and run some sort of express Leeds > Glasgow service on this main line. That would mean cutting out the intermediate stops and a pacer on a 2-hourly Skipton > Carlisle local would be ideal in terms of capacity and visibility.
It's hard to beat a nippy start out of Leeds over all the points heading for the severe gradients on the line to Bradford, followed by the screeching round the reverse curves down into the Interchange, but this is something that can already be done.
I'd send the Merseyrail seated sets... into the River Mersey.

Maybe then the ride quality can be upgraded somewhat to merely "awful".
You should try one of the old Diesel Rail buses now that is shocking, even at only 25mph plus they are the worst seats i have ever sat on in a train.
would love to do S&C, i love the jointed sections on hallam line on huddersfield service (doesnt stop at elsecar) very fun.
I'd love to do the KWVR very curvy and unfortunately (for me as civil maintenance) quite a few dippy sections.
Well, you've got a proto-Pacer , haven't you, in the Railbus. That looks a fun beast.
