How do you know they haven'tNot necessarily. They won’t have been to Nottingham for a start.
It’ll be a standard Northern DMU blind. The same list will probably have been found in other Northern DMUs that had roller blinds.

Dumfries they did to around early 2000 late 1999. Especially on the Carlisle ex Dumfries morning service in northern spirit livery. Ie ecs Carlisle to Dumfries to carlisle then to Newcastle via hexham Al'so did evening trip as well ie Newcastle to workington ie regular br rrne and majority off northern spirit days. Maybe and could have happened recently ie northern and arriva but they did go.Brilliant! So the northern pacers have covered east to Cleethorpes, west to Barrow, south to Nottingham and north to errrr Dumfries? Why and how Dumfies?
Anyway I noticed Wakefield had both its stations listed individually on the blind but poor old Bradford with 2 stations has to make do with just plain old Bradford.
Those chunky yellow on black fonts look great there, stick them behind 30 years of filth, wear and tear on the front of s pacer and they were barely legible. Did any ever get electronic destination signs?
I would agree however can imagine it being expensiveExcellent save, it'd be nice to see both the internal and external Merseyrail LED screens preserved from a Pacer too.
I remember seeing a destination blind being changed at Ilkley on a 308, several of the destinations I saw scroll past would have needed a bit of a run-up for that unit to get there. Huddersfield and Sheffield were both on there. Pre-privatisation I saw a 142 pull into Shipley towards Bradford with "Skegness" on the front!Not necessarily. They won’t have been to Nottingham for a start.

Interesting point because I noticed that 142078 also was on the mcv side a lot as well but at least used. So is 4 on 4 now. So iff short which I was told today ie two 150 on as well. So looking for certain that after March 6 to end March or may tt ie 769 depending the two northern side diagrams remain. Ie mcv. Also interesting to see that a 195 is asap going to work nmc and rose Hills before Sheffield ie on those diagrams that do rose Hill and new Mills Central only. As we know the clearance run took place and approved late January. So way forward I's looking like maybe in March 195 on romiley locals iff no 150. Cheers for head up on that142090 was joined by 142078 last night.
That will be 142051 which did am kirkby. 058 is on the Blackburn currently at rest Wigan sidings . 142045 should be currently at romiley on way to rose hillPassed Newton Heath on tram this morning and 142090 & 078 seem to be in the forgotten siding. There was 1 other pacer that I couldn't work out but either 045, 051 or 058.View attachment 74662View attachment 74662 View attachment 74663 View attachment 74662 View attachment 74663 View attachment 74662 View attachment 74663

Yes it's a 153, there were 3 if I remember and it seems that on 3 services I saw at Manchester Victoria, all had a 153 with a 158Is that a 153 I see there too
Where as in Wales the 153 apart from in rhymmny where they are connected to a 150 are operating on their own surprises me a little tbhYes it's a 153, there were 3 if I remember and it seems that on 3 services I saw at Manchester Victoria, all had a 153 with a 158

The East Kent Railway - at our line speeds they’re surprisingly smooth and quiet! Fantastic equipment for today’s heritage lines
