Used a Northern Rail £10 special today and noted the following:

142 067 on the 10:54 Sheffield - Gainsborough.

142 043 and 142 060 on the 12:14 Rose Hill - Man Pic.
142 049 and 142 038 on the 12:45 Rose Hill - Man Pic.
142 055 and 142 094 on the 13:14 Rose Hill - Man Pic.
142 048 and 142 062 on the 13:27 New Mills - Man Pic.

The other New Mills and Hope valley services were all 150 sets.

142 028 and 142 058 on the 13:49 Alderley Edge - Wigan NW and 15:08 to Stalybridge.
142 040 and 142 046 on the 17:13 Man Vic to Kirkby.
142 047 on the 15:14 Man Vic - Wigan Wallgate and return.
142 032 and 142 004 on the 16:34 Blackburn - Wigan NW.
142 001 on the 18:42 Rochdale - Clitheroe

In addition there were some 142 / 150 combo's knocking around:

DAR - SLB 142012/88
BIA - DAR - SLB 142052/64/91
Spare unit 142033
Durham Coast 142009

Wow 2 very rare visitors to the NE. I suspect perhaps 142009/52 are going to be withdrawn or put into warm storage come Monday then seeing as more 195s are set to enter service on Monday.

Had to get the train to work - Preston to Swinton on Wednesday, which meant going via Wigan (NW walking to Wallgate).

Wallgate provided 142030 which I travelled on to Swinton. Nobody complained despite the loose seat and general lousiness of the train. It still worked, and that's better than no train at all! Could be my last journey on a Pacer!

142057 and 142094 arrived on the Blackburn to Southport service too.

And at Wigan NW, 142045 was with 150143 on the Alderley Edge train.

142022 2N09 0915 Sheffield to Leeds.

Many thanks for this information. 022 was one of three pacers I required for haulage this morning and given its storage status I was resigned to never getting it.. However it is funny how things happen when you least expect them. I came in from walking the dog, made a cup of tea, and opened up the forum messages. 21 minutes later and a dash up the M1 the dog and myself boarded the 13:18 from Outwood to Leeds and 022 was required no more. It then worked the 13:48 to Leeds and paired up with 023 for the 15:15 return service to Leeds. Once again many thanks. Now if anyone sees 054 and 090 someone is very keen to meet up with them...

You're welcome. So pleased the info came in useful. I got 022 for haulage today too but still need thirteen others so I've no chance of completing them (Heading home to Devon tomorrow evening and unlikely to come back up north this year).

An easy day for 142001 today as it’s currently sat at platform 1 in Lancaster.
Northern have abandoned the Morecambe branch again.
