Me driving former Northern Rail Pacer 144017 around Scunthorpe steel works as part of a driver experience day organised by the Appleby and Frodingham Railway. An amazing experience which I won't forget. I'm no professional driver by any means but I loved every second.
The steel works were still operating as normal on this day so we had to negotiate working trains within the site.

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 :)
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
Cheers Matt, yeah it was a great day
Oh wow. The cab of the bus is looking well!
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!
I would love to have an experience like this in a Class 60. Great video and it looked like fun mate.
Aww id love one in a 60 aswell
I'd love it on a Aytch-Ess-Tee
Wow! What an experience!
I drove 144017 last year in April and it was brilliant! Glad you enjoyed your time!
Cheers, hope you enjoyed it too
Amazing experience
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?
They do have slots on their website of days which are available. www.afrps.co.uk/new_page_6.htm
@@TheJamster2006 Cool thanks!
That was awesome mate!
I did my training on that train 16 years ago.
Omg that's amazing Jamie. Well done
Thanks Rachel, was a great day
@@TheJamster2006 That's great
Excellent. Great video mate.
Cheers Matt, great fun 😁
the driver on merseyrail one time was nice neough , and letted me to do a tone i did a 4 toner like low high high low

Amazing mate looks a brilliant experience and live workings to could have got messy lol
Cheers Mark, we had it all under control 😉
Wow! Well done Jamie.
Cheers mate 🙂
@@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!
@@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 😆
@@TheJamster2006 I'm liking it mate!
Why is there two Di.8’s there? One from CargoNet, and one in the old NSB livery! :D
Nice video mate well done
Cheers mate
Nice one mate, well done!
Cheers mate, pacers aren't everyone's cup of tea but i absolutely loved it 😆
@@TheJamster2006 Nothing wrong with a Pacer mate 😉😁
Wow. You were so lucky hope you had a nice time
Cheers Nathan
Wow!!!
I would like a train driving experience it would be amazing
Its not cheap but it's worth every penny. There are private railways all over the country that offer similar experiences
Woah!!
Would love to do something like that!!!!
There are several preserved pacers around the uk, many preserved railways offer a driver experience day
@@TheJamster2006 Sounds brilliant! Will have to look into that when I am old enough
7:40 LOL @ the squeal
Fantastic! Is there a potential career change on the cards?
I'll need some training i think without having to be reminded to do everything 🤣
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 👍
@@TheJamster2006 can i have the link to the website please

@@TheJamster2006 thank you
At 13:00 did you hit those points?
Was it bouncing as heck?
Oh yes
Did you manage to contain yourself when you drove this pacer? 🤣
I was like a dog with two tails 🤣
