It looks like the 142s in the North East have being rounded up at Heaton on Friday night 13/12. Whether any are let out on Saturday 14/12 remains to be seen.
These units ended at Heaton on Friday night having been in service on Friday: 142001,013,014,063,065,068,070,071,087,089.
These units were on Heaton on Friday and weren't allocated (the date in brackets is their most recent use): 142018 (5/12), 142032 (12/12), 142067 (11/12), 142087/088/094/095 (all 12/12).
As far as I can tell there are no 142s spending Friday night at Darlington, only 156s and 158s.
The 156s that moved from Newton Heath to Heaton on Friday (156421+156489+156490 on 5Z56 0910 NH-HT) were all put straight into passenger use on Friday afternnon/evening after arrival in the North East.

Just three 142s are currently working in the North East today:
142013 is on the Tyne Valley all day, currently 1054 Morpeth-Carlisle and finishing with 2204 Carlisle-Newcastle.
142032 is on 1056 Hexham-Danby, 1350 Danby-Hexham, 1654 Hexham-Nunthorpe, 1920 Nunthorpe-Metrocentre, 2121 Metrocentre-Morpeth, 2211 Morpeth-Hexham, 2325 Hexham-Newcastle.

Is it likely that today is the last day of 142 operations in the north east? Was hoping for one last journey before they go but busy with other stuff today.

I'm led to believe that this is the case! I think it's possible that some might end up being used ad-hoc on Monday maybe into Tuesday but it's probably a very low chance short of several 156s going off sick at the same time!

I can't believe I've already had my last Pacer on the Saltburn branch! :'(

Can anyone confirm if 142032 is still working the above diagram? Hoping to catch it from Thornaby to Nunthorpe and back!

Thanks.

That's a shame , I guess I'll just have to see if any heritage railways preserve the odd one in the future ☹️

Possible 142 storage moves tomorrow:

5T42 0844 Wigan Wallgate Up C.S. to Barrow C.S.
https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/S63279/2019-12-15/detailed

5T43 1047 Blackburn King Street to Barrow C.S.
https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/S63280/2019-12-15/detailed

That looks to be a bit of old news.
Go back to post # 1816 of Tuesday this week.

Just had a look at BiF today, it's just had it's first sets of 195s sent to it for warm storage 195108 & 195128. I don't think that theses have been use in passenger service yet.

Sorry for the cross post.

According to the trainline, the 1654 Hexham to Nunthorpe has been cancelled. Where is 142032 now?

An era ends, and a new one dawns. Let’s hope it will be good. Sad to see those photo’s, but they are good ones, and thank you for posting them of 142032.
