Haven’t been keeping up to date recently. Are the 142s working on Saturdays?

No problem that should remain all week. But nothing is certain. However also it looks like into next week. The same Possibly.Thanks for the information mate. I’m currently on 2N90 15:23 Wigan Wallgate to Blackburn with 142078 leading 150228.

But again its wait and see.
Friday hopefully for meNice one. I will try and get another ride on a 142 this week. I’m on early shift all week so I can have a runabout in the afternoon
Sadly they ended last week. There is just one peak diagram and one Wigan to Blackburn diagram throughout the day. Now.Hi all - any thoughts on the following - reading these threads I can see limited 142 use now on weekdays, and looking here these seem to be in the peak hours.
I'm thinking of a trip using a Northern £10 rover on a weekday - and I can't get to Manchester area before about 12 noon.
So what routes might be likely to still have 142s on them in the afternoon or evening (OK by me if attached to PRM compliant other classes of unit of course)?
Would it be:
Manchester - Marple / Rose Hill
Manchester - Sheffield
any others? (some around Blackburn seems possible)
Views on probable times might be handy - though I'd be prepared to go to Manchester and hang about for a bit to see what turned up potentially.
Any thoughts welcome. I realise there is no certainty now but informed guesswork from people on this thread would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Warwickshire - I could probably make a wigan one. That info is appreciated - realise it was posted up thread but didn't understand that 'that's yer lot' - kind of you to detail it.Sadly no they ended last week.

Today is 142004 on 0533 mcv to kirkby
0636 kirkby to mcv
Should form 1736 mcv to southport.
142090 back on usual diagram ie
0648 southport to Blackburn
0917 1617 2017 Blackburn to Wigan
1423 1823 Wigan to Blackburn today
Also hopefully olr northern see sense and bring some off these back till may. Because today elsewhere cancellations on Calder valley due to no units would make sense 150 on Calder valley and 142 on hope valley. But tbh money is better spent these days on the tfws valley lines rover for 142s.Sadly no they ended last week. There is just one peak diagram and one Wigan to Blackburn diagram throughout the day.

I didn't mean it that way its just I myself am annoyed with the olr decision on Monday to send x2 142 to gascoigne wood and take off use early. When they should have kept these till may. Today has seen overcrowding and cancellations on Calder valley. I would personally would have kept them on hope valley and used the 150s for elsewhere. Hopefully they might send 142 back onto the hope valley. Even iff it is just one. Because having two spare at nh is no joy. Al'so my opinion are far better on hope valley. To release others. I am just wound up about there removal. I have Also being campaigning with local rail users groups. We all don't agree with this.Thanks Warwickshire - I could probably make a wigan one.

Shame to miss one last chance of a trip through Edale on a 142 but never mind.

Is this right? It misses the 11:23 out and 13:17 return?
Yes same off which I have just seen today. Monday only was slightly different. Tuesday and Wednesday today the Wigan to Blackburns are back to their original diagrams again. Ie this post here.Today’s workings:
View attachment 75263
I don’t think any class 150s would be released if they did the hope valley as the runs they were on have been shortformedHowever all last week 142051 and 142045 didn't run. Before this Mondays move to gascoigne wood. Surely they could at least use the remaining 142 x2 elsewhere and use them. Ie hope valley again. Or anywhere where crewe still sign.to release 150 elsewhere again mcv 0700 to kirkby was cancelled today even more for a case. We all need to help and support each other and email etc those in power about this issue. Doudt it will be off much use. But hopefully we might get some additional ones soon.MIGHT.
