Great footage Brian. Love the orange pacer !

I can understand many people's dislikes for Pacers but they were perfect when travelling up in the hills and mountains of places like Wales. The windows were so big with small window frames that they were almost like observation cars. And with the seat backs being low, you could see everything. 3. 2. 1... Her come the "Pacer Haters" Hahahaha :)

Agreed, loved the low back seating and the brightness, they were a bit of roughing it but loved em.

Good lighting in that yard.

Excellent Brian Another Great Video 📹 👍👍

All nostalgic over the gm orange pacer, reminds me of when the Bury 504s were repainted.

Cool catches and video once again

Who would of thought a Pacer would ever work a rail tour when they have been slated since day one 🤔

The train going to Coatbridge would that have a Coatbridge driver, or would they change at Carlisle?

Usually a Crewe driver but Coatbridge do have a diagram that comes south to Crewe daily

hello Brian, great video, those cl 73s don't sound the same now since the clowns re engined them, the EE engine sounded better ,

Sadly at Crewe we don’t we usually use a 66 or a 90. When I finally get to Trafford park they do and yes I have used and signed them in the past and if I can get a few minutes I will film the cab of one

I presume the Pacer is at some stage of being preserved on a heritage line?

No it’s lsl owned and I believe either to be used for rail tours or road learning

Can anyone tell me Why it’s now 2 class 90 s Instead of 1 ? For a while now Also why do they not double class 66 s ? Surely 1 class 66 vs 2 class 90 from say crewe to Felixstowe is much slower ? and must seem underpowered by comparison ?

What's the coach with the pantograph actually do

Measures the wires tension and confirms it’s all calibrated correctly for pantographs to operate safely
