The Railway Review To The Pacers

[@SuperalbsTravels]

Hello THERE - seating nerd HERE! All of the 143s are Chapman fitted, but the 144s are Richmond. 144012 has Fainsa ironing boards (wtf). I don't know which ones you have used though, as the padding is ample on both of these, and a great breath of fresh air after rattling down from London on a rancid 800, even in first class. 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@SuperalbsTravels]

And the 142 seats you couldn't identify, I just call them car seats because they look like car seats.

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

Thanks for the much needed clarification, seating nerd. May this knowledge be continued to be used for years to come :)

[@Speedster-jw7qx]

144012 is now with network rail

[@fdhdd102]

@@Speedster-jw7qx Its been scrapped now.

Self Reflection: (Forgot to post this with the upload) Oh boy. This would've been the most fun I had making a KZbin video in a long time apart from a simple thing: I was struggling to sort out the footage. But no matter, I got there in the end thanks to some archived videos I had of some extra 'pacers' and managed to fill in the gaps and produce something I feel quite proud of. I'm spoiling you with giving you two of these Railway Reviews in November, don't expect this to be the norm. Feel free to try and guess all the locations for the prize of Bonus Ducks once again :)

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

Congrats once again :D All check out

[@XNick291X]

The fact that you can drive 144017 around Scunthorpe Steelworks is tempting me

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

Driving a Pacer or any other DMU on a heritage line is something I wouldn't mind doing either :)

[@XNick291X]

@@MaverickHunterDaniel Think it's like £200 a go though

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

That's still cheaper than some railtours I've seen.

[@SketchyScot]

Another great review my guy, one of your most well-edited too (10/10 beastars ref). Yeah, I agree on pacers I think I see them how Richard Hammond sees "Oliver" in a strange (ironic??) way...

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

Thanks very much. I think I understand where you coming from. Just. Also it was only a matter of time till I referenced another Furry bait show here :D

[@ninjaz5736]

Not to mention the lack of bogies wreaked havoc on the track, especially the points. Regardless, as someone who dodn't have to travel on them regularly, I do have a soft spot for them, if only because they did save some lines from closure (and the fact it's pretty easy to feel which bit of track should be next up for renewal!)

[@butikimbo9595]

To mention the "Pretendo Sprinters" class 153 and a 155 units that are a derivated design from Pacers, using the same bodyshell and Leyland built though. Even loco hauled stock was built as a prototype decades ago if you remember.

I have only experienced a Pacer twice, 142047 twice in one day and I can't lie I love the things! Seats are comfy, bumpy ride could be annoying but I think it adds a good character, like you I have sensitive hearing but ngl I love the sound of the Leyland Leopard 680 on a Pacer! Overall fabulous trains! (Personal opinion)

[@JoshNunnyt]

You're crazy!

[@bennickss]

Sadly, the Telford steam railway now has two pacers contaminating its line. 144013 and 142058. Update, there is now a THIRD one for whatever reason... so sad..

[@cam43002]

Love them so many good memories on them

"Supposedly these are the last few months of pacers running on mainline services" *8 months later*

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

In the interest of fairness, I don't know how I was able to predict them lasting a tiny bit longer with TFW.

[@omegamezle]

Is it ironic that apparently the 150 cost less than the 142

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

Not really, no. It's bigger, is DDA complaint and has twice as many wheels. Dunno how that is ironic :D

[@omegamezle]

@Maverick Hunter Daniel sorry wrong word: less. It cost less 🙃 my brain is not intact

Thay once was one of these in Ireland, but they decided that a kit bash of a mk1 mk3 and uta 70 class would be better even if it was a pice of junk

[@sirjack_86]

Is it a good or bad thing that I have never taken a ride on this train?

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

Depends on how much you want to suffer.

Stop gap= hope you enjoy your new train for the next 40 years

[@insertnewchannelnamehere739]

That joke at the start was being serious, the pacers are f***ing buses thrown on to rails, even a sprinter is better tuan the pacer lmao

[@millercool21]

If only all pacer were like 144012 (ofc not only if there is no ironing board seats.

[@MaverickHunterDaniel]

Ehhhh, even then, I wouldn't want them running the 100 mile/ 3 hour journeys like they did in the past. Even if the seats were more bearable.
