Me driving a Pacer train!!!

[@seany84uk]

Im sure many people like myself would like to do this as an experience day or even for 30 mins if they could make a massive loop of the track available! :) After typing that i just realised you can book a 2 hr experience slot lol :)

[@StagecoachMANALX300]

WOW! To have a trip round the steelworks in a pacer could be one of the best highlights of the year so far for you? Incredible!

[@Kitchevo]

Ah number 17 the last 3 car I drove in service, always was a bit of a good one that one, very rarely had any issues with that one, hope you enjoyed your experience and glad to see a few have made it into preservation

[@TheJamster2006]

Cheers Matt, yeah it was a great day

[@Keyaans_Photography]

Oh wow. The cab of the bus is looking well!

[@BritishRail60062]

I would love to have an experience like this in a Class 60. Great video and it looked like fun mate.

[@TheJamster2006]

Aww id love one in a 60 aswell

[@TheArkamedBat]

I'd love it on a Aytch-Ess-Tee

Wow! What an experience!

[@Class380Fan]

That was awesome mate!

[@jameshunt1516]

Wow nice to see that a few of these units have been preserved. I'm a big fan of pacers so I'd love to drive one some day! Do you know if this driver experience day will be on again?

[@TheJamster2006]

They do have slots on their website of days which are available. www.afrps.co.uk/new_page_6.htm

@@TheJamster2006 I spotted this one in Penistone on the 16th January 2019. I was working in the buildings next to the station there and would nip out every chance I got if a train stopped!

[@TheJamster2006]

@@MrDbremner i was actually at Penistone on this trip as well. We wanted to visit stations where we could cover part of the station name to make it look a bit cheeky so we visited Penistone, Scunthorpe and South Milford. Boys will be boys 😆

Why is there two Di.8’s there? One from CargoNet, and one in the old NSB livery! :D

[@RWL2012]

Wow!!!

[@christianholder5792]

I would like a train driving experience it would be amazing

[@TheJamster2006]

Its not cheap but it's worth every penny. There are private railways all over the country that offer similar experiences

[@scottishtrains9761]

Would love to do something like that!!!!

[@TheJamster2006]

There are several preserved pacers around the uk, many preserved railways offer a driver experience day

[@scottishtrains9761]

lucky bastard id would have loved to have driven one of these trains sad that i cant now so pissed off they have been retired now

This was at the Appleby and Frodingham railway at Scunthorpe Steel works. They offer driver experience days on this pacer. Get yourself onto their website and book a slot 👍
