Also out is 142 047 with 150 117 on the 13:18 Rochdale to Clitheroe.

So far today: NH: 142 058 / 004 / 043 parked up alongside the Rochdale line in the same position they were last week. 142 036 / 090 plus one other in main sidings. 142 078 with non compliant 158 859 on 11:42 Rochdale BLackburn, 142 051 with 150 125 on 11:13 Victoria to Kirkby, 142 055 with 150...

Just been past Gascoigne Wood on the train. Next to the line and visible as you go from Leeds to Selby in order are: 089 / 032 / 014 / 056 / 003 / 007 / 038. 028 is on its own a distance from the others at the eastern end of the complex. The others are in a row behind and can't be identified.

Many thanks. Not many out today. Saw none on Rose Hill / New Mills services and none on Kirkby line. 011 / 036 / 055 / 078 were on Blackburn and Clitheroe to Rochdale with minders. There were 7 on NH visible from passing trains with only 004 / 041 / 043 / 047 /058 identifiable.

Any idea when it started ?

Sadly not. I suspect one more may have been on the Kirkby / Wigan route as I didn't see all the sets working this route.

Today I saw 12 of the 14 active Northern 142's as follows: 004 Newton Heath depot mid morning 011 not seen 035 on the 16:49 Piccadilly to Sheffield 036 Newton Heath depot mid morning 041 Afternoon - Blackburn - Rochdale circuit 043 not seen 045 on the 16:37 Piccadilly to rose Hill 047 Afternoon...

Just two going to Newport today. 142 034 and 046 just passed Wakefield Kirkgate.

142 031 / 048 / 053 went to Kingsbury on 10/01/20 as far as I am aware but you are right 038 is still at Gascoigne making 13.

By my reckoning there are 12: 003 / 007 / 009 / 014 / 028 / 032 / 034 / 046 / 049 / 056 / 060 / 089 assuming 062 was the middle set of todays convoy. Can anybody confirm that it was ? Many thanks.

I'll second that and took a photo inside a 195 as it arrived at Hebden Bridge on its way to Leeds. The correct one was the one pointing to the left. I pointed this out to the guard who duly made a note in the fault book.

142 059 was written of as a result of having gone into the buffer stops and mounting the platform at Liverpool Lime Street in October 1991. The rear vehicle 55709 was stored for a couple of years round the back of Newton Heath depot. Does anyone out there know where and when the vehicles of 008...

Asbestos was certainly a significant factor in their demise which is why they were all disposed of very quickly in the firing tunnel of Mayer Newman within months of withdrawal. They were common on all the Hull / Sheffield / Manchester route and were mixed in with the former class 123 vehicles...

142 040 / 067 / 063 on their way to Newport running 36 late at Wakefield Kirkgate.

Four class 76's were grounded at Reddish: 76043 / 76 050 / 76056 / 76057. 76 043 and 76 050 were reunited were with wheels during 1983 and formed part of the 'dirty 7' (re asbestos) and were stored inside Reddish depot until they could be moved to Booths later that year. The others were 76 002 /...

142 092 / 021 / 026 are on their way to Newport this morning.

If you want to see class 142's in action Sheffield is not now the best place to go. Manchester Victoria or Salford Crescent are the places you are most likely to see a working 142 followed by Manchester Piccadilly. If you are happy with 144's then Sheffield may yield you some joy. From what I...

Sorry for garbled previous message - my phone seemed to develop a mind of its own. What I meant to say was that 142 024 / 054 / 062 have just passed Horbury Bridge somewhat earlier than anticipated en route to Gascoigne Wood.
