Riding Pacer Trains at the Telford Steam Railway
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- The Telford Steam Railway is a heritage that I haven't visited before until I heard about the Multiple Mayhem event over the May Bank Holiday.
Sort of Diesel Multiple Unit Gala featuring a British Rail Class 108 DMU and three trains that we haven't really seen on the channel for a while. Pacer Trains as the Telford Steam Railway has two Class 142 DMUs and a Class 144 DMU still in the Northern livery. There has been a handful of Pacer Trains that have entered Perseveration.
Also in this video it featured a MK3 Carriage which went overseas and a Model Railway of Stafford Station set in the LNWR/LMS days before the 1960s brutalism.
People will love the Pacer Trains, People will hate the Pacer Trains but they will be known as the train that will never die!

That’s nice
Simon - The goal is to go to Ironbridge in the next 3-5 years which will be fantastic and to hopefully blend in with the new Ironbridge development at some point.
The next station they want to reach is Dosley which is about a mile down the line heading towards Ironbridge however they have to overcome a pedestrian crossing first which is literally around the corner from H&D station. They are sorting out the drainage works around H&D station soon as it's in a valley. Once they have overcome that they will be fine to Dosley. It's on a embankment so drainage not an issue. Platform still remains at Dosley which is good.
Lawley they can't use the station because the embankment isn't safe and like you said they plan to build a proper station there. It will always be a terminus as they can't go any further.
The Mk3 sleeper coach is being sold on to pastures new now.
The Railway has set up a crowd fund for the steam tram boiler so they can refurbish it. £20+k is what they after.
The Railway has the line all the way to Ironbridge which is great news.
Light Moore Signal Box is very much still active as its part of the mainline. I've never seen it myself however.
The pacers are a fantastic addition to the railway.
If you didn't know I'm a volunteer at the Railway and do my part to help out.
Looks like you had good fun Simon. You should visit more often. I went on the Monday and I had fun also.
Great video.
They're soooo horrendous that they're loveable😂😂
Goose Lord 3 OF THEM?! RUN FOR YOU LIVES!!!
Apart from that i'm glad you've enjoyed the Multiple Mayhem event and It is weird but good to see pacers on preserved heritage lines. Even if most people hate them. Also I want to drive that First Northwestern Pacer at Chasewater so bad!!

Hello again Simon,
Just wanted to say a big thank you for doing this video, it's so nice to see the PACER trains still alive and kicking, even if it's only on a heritage railway line.
It was a bit emotional watching the video, but emotional in a good way for me, because I really miss the PACER trains and used to enjoy traveling on them, especially on the Hope Valley line.
Hope you manage to get more rides on Pacer trains in the future at other Heritage railway centres and put out some more videos too.
Yes the Chase Water Railway looks an interesting place, maybe for your next video?
On another note, the Telford Steam Railway Centre looks a fascinating place to visit, I may go for a visit there sometime myself, even if it's just to see the Pacers 😍 and I hope they manage to extend the line in the future, it'll make an interesting ride.
Anyway mate, keep up the good work and hope to see another Pacer video soon 😍
All the best from Devon Mike 🚂
Not being a Brit and only having done two trips to the UK from "Down Under," I never got to see much Pacer action. However, 142058 was my first Pacer ride, back on 11/9/2019, from Ashton-under-Lyne to Manchester Victoria. 😍😍 *_Pacers!!!_*
If anyone is interested there are at least two Class 144 Pacers on the Cambrian Heritage Railway in Oswestry. The line is over a mile long. Another small heritage railway that would really appreciate any visitors. With a museum and refreshments.
Great video Simon next time when your at the Telford steam railway do a video of driving a pacer with permission
Thanks, they do driver experiences but the Pacers are not on there. There some Railways that do driver experiences with Pacers but they're not cheap
@@Sim0nTrains try your best and go to the railway that has pacers and do a video of driving it before the railway is open
Nice video of the Pacer in action on the Telford Steam Railway Simon👍👍
I really like the early part of the video of everyone least favourite train from the national rail network that is going to be on show at TSR multiple units weekend, it made me smile because everyone don’t like Pacers because of the ride quality.
This weekend is Victoria Day holiday. What a great way to spend the day watching British rail videos. Thanks!!!
Late May is our Spring Bank Holiday. Do love bank holidays as you can travel early in the morning on a off peak ticket and mostly less busy until late morning. Thanks PS. Montreal
Great video, who would've thought Pacers would be worthy of saving and working on a heritage railway 🤣.
Flappy doors and bus seats too
You know you’re on a 142!
Thanks Simon
Brown vinyl seats were standard on leyland national buses.
I love that model of Stafford railway station as it used to look - especially with the model of the class 110 "Calder Valley" DMU in one of the platforms. Thank you for sharing your day Simon, I have enjoyed watching. 😊
This was yet another fantastic Vlog indeed Simontrains it’s fantastic to see the pacers in operation on this particular heritage railway I continue to enjoy watching your Vlogs Simontrains and I look forward to watching many more of your future Vlogs until then carry on being awesome keep up the good work take care and stay safe
Hi Simon Nice video again, 142004 was, as you will no doubt know the last 142 in use, its last journey being Wigan Wallgate to Manchester Victoria (back 2021 was it??)
November 2020 actually
Theres one at Keighley and Worth Railway as well which was an ex-Arriva 143
Good video. Nice to see someone following in Malcolm Webster’s footsteps. (Shropshire Railways)
He don't look as angry with Pacers as used to be he seems more chilled out with them
brilliant vlog its nice to see some pacers sill in action i only rode a handfull in my lifetime i must admit i do miss seeing them around everytime im in the North West as i always used to see some at several stations anyway keepup the awesome work
Great vlog Simon. I’ve never been to the Telford Steam Railway. Looks great. Great too see the pacers again!
Fantastic video Simon great to see The PacerBuses has got a new bit of life
Beautiful trains
Excellent video, Simon, even if the name of the railway line is a bit of a misnomer (I didn’t see a steam loco!)
That line has an interesting history and I had to look at a map to see the “y” nature of it.
Glad they’ve saved some of those bus trains (I say I’m glad, I never even went on one! 😜) - shame it looked so quiet on the railway
Nice video Sherlock. Good to see pacer trains doing the action (The train that never dies 🫢😲)
The train that never dies
Brilliant video Cyber, I've never been to the Telford steam railway. Extending it to Ironbridge sounds like a very good idea. As someone who never rode any pacers on the main line, I certainly would love to ride some in preservation.
The world could end and there would still be Pacers 😂
Shoutout Trainman86
The train that won't die now there in my home county of Shropshire 😳
There in parts of the country that you don't get to see them. Thanks The Shrew 88
The train that doesn’t die but sit goes strong and finds away back. There is a pacer down at the Nene Valley Railway in Peterborough so still pretty much thriving. Great video as always mate
Did Northern not realise that that train is no longer with them? hahahaha
I have to get my I love pacers tshirt out and go
11:47 about the normal rate of acceleration for a Pacer. 0-30mph eventually.
YAY YOUR BACK
Nice to see the former Northern Pacer trains at Telford Steam Railway.
This is the 2 car class 142004 is now at the Telford Steam Railway 🚃 is the train 🚆 🚊 🚂 that never 👎 dies has originally been in the north of England 🏴 known as BR - British 🇬🇧 Rail. On bank 🏦 holiday Monday 1st 🥇 January 1996 (New 🆕 Year’s Day), it was privatised probably called NWRR - North West Regional Railways 🚆 🚃 . It became FNW - First North Western in around March 1997 and in December 2004 became NT - Northern. It’s the train 🚊 🚆 🚂 has previously been subleased to the now defunct train 🚂 🚊 🚆 company FGW - First Great Western from December 2007 to December 2008 on a short term lease with class 142028/062/067/070 and the rest are class 142001/009/029/030/063/064/068 went until late ⏰ 2011 which class 142029/064 went back to the north of England 🏴 in October 2011 and class 142001/009/040/063/068 went back to the north of England 🏴 is November 2011. There are 96 x 2 car class 142 pacer trains 🚂 🚊 🚆 are 142001-096 and many have previously been scrapped at the scrapyard. Good 👍. It serves the crappy 💩 2 car class 142 pacer trains 🚂 🚊 🚆 right for being scrapped at the scrapyard. Middle finger 🖕 to the class 142 pacer trains 🚂 🚊 🚆. Most class 142 pacer trains 🚂 🚊 🚆 are used for preserved railways 🚆 🚃 in England 🏴. All class 140 - 144 pacer trains 🚂 🚊 🚆 have open windows 🪟, automatic operating doors 🚪, luggage 🧳 rack, bins 🗑️ 🚮 , no smoking 🚭 accommodation is because it’s prohibited 🚫 on all trains 🚊 🚆 🚂 , buses 🚍 🚌 🚎, taxis 🚕 🚖 , railway 🚃 stations 🚉 , enclosed public places and inside the buildings around the world 🗺️ 🌍 🌎 🌏 , has a toilet 🚻 🚾 🚽 in the DMSL - Driving Motor Standard Lavatory 🚻 🚾 🚽 , a ladder 🪜 in the DMSL and has gangway within unit. The pacer trains 🚆 🚊 🚂 aren’t used for public transport anymore. 👍
Now I have been to Ironbridge before, during which the power station was in its final years of operation. Whenever the Telford Steam Railway (which I haven't yet visited) extends there, I will hopefully pay a visit!
may be waiting a long time i suspect as the line does not exist as of yet and has a main road to cross !!! The TSR should have applied for the line from Madeley junction instead of lightmoor junc and then it would be ready to run right away as the line is complete . Never quite understood why they are staying at horsehay and needing to lay track and never had a sensible answer when i have asked the question. I know the line is still under NR control and has a blockade on it as there was a bridge strike a few years ago . the line currently stops at Coalbrookdale station and does not reach the river at Ironbridge at all
Horse hay that’s the name from the animal that eats the hay

This is where the pacers Came from in my opinion yes or no :D i.pinimg.com/originals/31/f4/32/31f4321e6b7f4db23a4a351a467f19d3.jpg
Yes, they were based on the Leyland National
@@Sim0nTrains i knew it. Me and Gareth and friend from wales first saw them back in 1994. technically when i was 20 in Reading where i come from. First started seriously spotting when i was 19. Before then it was clocking 125's then it just continued turbo's then 50's then stated clocking underground stock.
