There's been a lot less Pacers doing the Lime Street - Oxford Road service for the past coupe of weeks! Haven't seen any on the Lime Street - Manchester Airport service for a few weeks either!

Which failed later on (according to the journeycheck site) and the diagram has been missing all afternoon since!

That was probably the one I was waiting for at Redcar central that was cancelled. Unfortunately that was the service that called at British Steel Redcar so I missed getting that station.

Saw one at Chesterfield a week or so ago. Was assigned to the Leeds Nottingham service by the Random Unit Generator and terminated at Chesterfield. Sat in platform three for 3/4 of an hour until the return working was due.

I had an almost all-142 day yesterday (I wonder how many more of those there will be !)

Morning express from Normanton to Leeds (usually a 158) turned out to be a Merseyrail 142 in a hurry !
Leeds - Carnforth (usually 3 carriage 144 or 150) was a well loaded Northern Spirit 142
Carnforth - Arnside - the one interloper - a 156
Lancaster - Leeds (usually 3 carriage 144 or 150) same 142 as coming, thankfully a lot less busy.
Leeds - Normanton (usually a 142), mercifully a doubled up 142.

An enjoyable day out though.
