Wow wee, it’s crazy to see some of this all just scrapped. The coaches especially look in perfectly serviceable condition. Most of the scrapping is for political reasons more than much else, if the UK doesn’t want them does anyone know why they are not sold onto other countries maybe? Sad to see the Pacer meeting it’s maker too - great memories of traveling around on these things - I always thought they were a whole load of fun! 👍

TopAbandonedPlaces | URBEX This is a great video... It’s totally mad that the coaches aren’t considered for export potentially. My car is is far worse condition and it’s only three years old! 😂😂 As for the Pacers, great little machines in my view, it almost feels a little mad that they’ll soon only be seen on heritage railways. Much as some people seem to hate them, I’ll likely always have a soft spot of their squeaky, bouncy and 1980’s style ride! They did their job well! 👍👊

@@jonmilligan8069 Railfans are strange characters. They were slagging Pacers off for generations, but as soon as scrapping is on the horizon, suddenly they become "great little machines" full of character with a bouncy (aka rough) ride. Very strange indeed.

Thanks for posting this. It's sad to see but good that you've posted. However - please sort your volume out. Your music is WAY too loud and the bits where you're talking are far too quiet by comparison.
