A pair of 150s.Mega apologies. Got it completely wrong! 142 011 worked the 17:19 Pic to new Mills and 036 is on 17:49 to Sheffield. No idea what worked the 16:49 to Sheffield.

A pair of 150s.
Great picture!The two weekday evening Hope Valley stopping turns booked for 4 car sets have reliably produced 142s since the new year: one set works the 16:49 Man Picc - Sheffield, 18:14 SHF - MAN, 19:49 MAN - SHF and 21:14 SHF - MAN and the second set works the 17:49 MAN - SHF, 19:14 SHF - MAN, 20:49 MAN - SHF and 22:47 SHF - MAN.
Tonight gave 142036 on the first turn and 142051 on the second. Last night 142051 and 142045 were out, each accompanied by a 150 or 156. The full length trip on the 'stopper' costs £7 for an adult single each way, if bought before departure. A Derbyshire Wayfarer covers Sheffield to New Mills Central which is useful if starting from my end of the route. Here's 142051 at Sheffield platform 7 last night, awaiting its 21:14 departure to Manchester Piccadilly. *Edited to correct a unit number*

Wouldn't it be cheaper to hire a dominatrix?Are any ex Merseyrail 142s likely to be out tommorow?
Nice photo142011 is on the 18:14 Sheffield - Man Picc diagram this evening. The second Hope Valley 4 car set is a pair of 150/1s. First time this year I've seen 011 in Sheffield.View attachment 73327

Thanks for the info! I managed to travel on 142047 and 142078. It's always fun to travel on a pacer running 'express' between Salford Crescent and BoltonSeen so far are:
142078 on 0625 Clitheroe to Rochdale and return.
142090 on 0818 Blackburn to Rochdale (started from Bolton).
142047 on 0825 Clitheroe to Rochdale.
142035 on 1018 Blackburn to Rochdale.
Hope this helps

Do you have a photo? Would love to seeFor the second Saturday running, there was no 142 coupled to the 10:35am Kirkby to Manchester Victoria today.
Planning to use a Northern £10 rover on saturday. Which routes would I be most likely to have a good chance of riding on a Class 142? All suggestions welcome. Thanks.
Yes, I noted that from the posts ref last w/e. Maybe some other routes?I was just about to ask the same question.
Blackburn, Rochdale and Clitheroe seem the best bets.
I can't believe I'm searching out these buggers! It was Exemouth 1986 when I first experienced a 'Skipper'.

My first class 142’s for haulage were on the 5th of February 1986 when I had 142024 from Truro to Falmouth and back, later the same day I had 142018 from Plymouth to Gunnislake and back.

does that route get them on saturdays too?142043 coupled to a 150 was on the 9:35am Kirkby to Manchester Victoria today. The weekday working of this is still regularly seeing a 142/150 combi.
