Northern Class 142 sightings

[Kingspanner]

Groundhog Day at MBR with the terrible 142038 forming 2D06 the 0709 to Saltburn

 

[Tracked]

142060 + 142018 on the 15:15 Sheffield to Leeds this afternoon, not sure if it actually made it due to the problems at Meadowhall

 

[Kingspanner]

38 remains a scourge. Westbound on the 1810 from MBR, no heat as usual so v cold. Filthy and dim lighting, rubbish bus seats.On the other hand, running OK

142087 on 2021 from Doncaster to Sheffield, which started at Brid. I was expecting a 170, but to be fair it’s warm, and thrashing it.

[Kingspanner]

142063 ready to disappoint passengers at Middlesbrough on (I think) 2D81 to Nunthorpe

Has anyone spotted a pacer on the Sunday 0810 service from Darlington - Whitby? I've heard that recently this has been run by a pacer. Would love to ride on a pacer on the esk valley one more time!

 

[simon7929]

The last few Sundays have thrown up a Pacer on that service. Think number 63 worked the first one from Darlington last week. Two weeks before I think it was 066 or 096?

 

[simon7929]

One or two around Teesside today. Numbers 014/8/30/32/8/63 and 78.

 

[childwallblues]

142035 was noted with 150223 in Platform 7 at Liverpool Lime Street this afternoon.

My advise would be to keep an eye on the service levels during the day as Northern will very rarely cancel the Whitby train, normally there will start it from Middlesbrough using the spare set which is 99% of the time a Pacer. I was lucky (or unlucky for some people) to see that the 15:52 Hexham to Whitby was cancelled and starting from Middlesbrough at 17:56 2 weeks ago, and thought there was very good chance of it been a Pacer, sure enough 142078 arrived into Platform 2 at Middlesbrough so I couldn’t resist one last chance to ride on a Pacer to Whitby and back.

Number 63 worked the 0810 from Darlington last week. Two weeks before that it was either 66 or 96 can't remember which.

Very brave to travel on the last sevice from Whitby on a Saturday night..

[Seán Elliott]

Number 63 worked the 0810 from Darlington last week. Two weeks before that it was either 66 or 96 can't remember which.

What do you think the probability is of this service being a 142 tomorrow?

 

[Kingspanner]

142067 eastbound at Allens West now, headed for Saltburn. Plenty of squeaking, some heat, and bus seats for all the masochists out there..

 

[Welly]

This morning, I observed (and snapped) 142090 working the 0845 Sheffield - Lincoln, full to the gunwales of Christmas Market passengers.

 

[simon7929]

What do you think the probability is of this service being a 142 tomorrow?

I know it's a bit late now but apparently 142091 went to Whitby this morning. As next Saturday is intended to be the last day of 142 operation in the NE and the fact that weekday/Saturday diagrams are booked for 156/8 units. It could be the last time a 142 visits the town.

 

[simon7929]

simon7929 do you know if 142014 went to Saltburn this week

Yes I was on it a few days last week. It was around the NE all last week.

 

[simon7929]

Today around Middlesbrough are 142 060/7 and 91.

 

[Kingspanner]

what service is 142060 doing like please

I will be exceedingly unhappy if it (or any of its brethren) shows up on the 1310 Middlesbrough-Bishop Auckland. (Stand by for some Schadenfreude). I'm pretty sure 067 won't be in position to run this unless I've read the timetable all wrong.

 

[simon7929]

Think 060 was on 1111 Bish - Salt. 1244 Salt - Bish. Then 1411 Bish - Salt .. etc

 

[Kingspanner]

Yep, 60 it is, warmed entirely by passenger body heat and a watery winter sun. Bus seats, rattles, the lot

 

[Ryry]

Will Heaton depot do a pacer special on there last day
