142032 Seen at Dinsdale with its bus seats and no heat with the delayed 0704 to Carlisle. Happily few of the refrigerated souls on board would be going past Newcastle.
142087 attached to the back of a 156 which was forming the very late 0634 Darlington-Whitby, 39 min late away from Middlesbrough

Well 142014 is now working the 10.20 Middlesbrough to Whitby. 2D87...and it's very cold on here. Thankfully I am only going as far as Great Ayton.

Just overtaken three empty 142s (led by 009) north of Durham whilst on the 0930 Edinburgh - Kings Cross. From what I could see, all three were bus-seated examples.

Edit: 142070 spotted on a Saltburn service when we stopped at Darlington.

Seen today at Horbury Junction was 142 086 working the 11:02 Sheffield to Leeds. Shortly before it passed 195 013 was observed on what I think was the 11:08 Leeds to Nottingham service - the first time I have seen one at this location other than on crew training.

142041 (leading) with 150139 should be on the last ever Northern service between Manchester and Huddersfield and return shortly, 1759 from Piccadilly. Works back from Huddersfield to Piccadilly with a half hour layover at Marsden, perfect for a quick pint on the way back 8-)

142041/150139 was a unit swap in the end and did the Rose Hill after arrival from the 1601 Huddersfield. Oh well.

Already going very badly, the Bishop/Darlington - Saltburn diagrams are absolutely decimated already.
This is allegedly due to "shortage of conductors", which could of course be traction knowledge related. For the first time in 4 years I was bustituted out of Middlesbrough. Actually comfy and warm and a quiet if slightly longer journey, albeit in a coach with a driver who didn't know where the stations were and unilaterally decided to omit Allens West. Terrific 3-point turn in the car park at Eaglescliffe though.
Hopefully I will never see a Pacer again. For the record, 142013 on the 0712 ex Darlington was a disgrace. Filthy bus seat interior, no heat at all and wheel flats you could hear from half a mile. Good riddance!
Who knows what Monday will bring? I'lI no doubt be getting a slap in the face from Northern whatever shows up, and a new and less usefull timetable too.
