Have there been any 142 sightings on the Preston Colne or Preston Ormskirk services recently please?

There was a 142 on the 06:57 Preston to Colne recently, I had just started work and I was at the West Cornwall pasty shack on platform 3 at Preston queuing to get a brew and a bacon roll when I saw it leave platform 2.
Sorry mate I didn’t get the number.

Cheers @djpontrack . Let's hope there's still some knocking about from the 20 January when the Northern newspaper offer begins. Anywhere in the North West will do.

A bit late but
Nice to see 142047 at Liverpool Lime Street on Friday working
1255 Manchester Oxford Rd .
It was coupled to 150130.

Northern and TPE had problems that day
for sure as most announcements regarding cancellations were down to staff shortages!
Another announcement claimed the EMR service to Norwich would split at Nottingham with the front 2 cars only going forward to Norwich.
The train consisted of sole unit 158862!

Still nice to see 142s making it into Lime St though.

150-2 on the 1010 MAN-RSH
If you see 142078 please tell me what it’s running as I have only seen it once in the dark and romileys lights mess with photos :s

Any hope of a Pacer starting afresh for the evening peak at Manchester Piccadilly?

I was waiting at Salford Crescent yesterday from about 1140 to 1230 and noted a number of Pacers in service.
142011 was with 150115 on an Alderley Edge to Southport working.
142058 was by itself at 1157 to Blackburn via Todmorden.
142051 was on 1202 to Rochdale with a 150.
142047 with 150130 on a Southport to Alderley Edge service at 122x.

Looks like 65 is out on Saltburn/Darlington/Bishop services also. It's coupled to 95. Working 20 past every even hour from Darlington to Saltburn.

It seems like 65/95 are working 20 past every 'even' hour from Darlington, finishing up with the 2016 arrival. It looks like a 158 on the 'odd' hour diagram.
