On Strike Days the 10:20 usually throws up a Pacer.

142090 looks like it might go first as paint has come off the exterior and is missing a seat from the wheelchair area. Can't see Northern wanting to keep this one.

142046 was in York

Just think this time next year we will be pacer free, and with two empty pacer rides both in the same week I feel the end of the RailBus is fast approaching. I can't imagine a Durham Coast Line without Pacers, we have had them for life.

142064/71 - Durham coast

Are Cross Country Trains First Class tickets valid in the lounge at Newcastle?

Hi, for days when Industrial action is taking place on Northern what services are taking Northern tickets and will this include the £10 anywhere ticket? Also am I correct at thinking Arriva buses are accepting tickets on buses that go near a railway station?

142094 Danby to Hexham, sounds to be running on one engine.

I have had Bede to Pelaw Empty, Pelaw to Gateshead Empty, South Hylton to Pallion Empty and from the Airport aswell.

One to mention is the Tyne and Wear Metro, I have had a carriage empty many times.

From videos I have watched it tends to be like a Contracted Bus Service with the majority of users over the age of 65.

One for LNER but Not Completely Empty is the Sunderland Journeys, they tend to just have a few passengers on-board and most occasions there is more staff than passengers.

Twice last week I was fortunate enough to sample completely empty pacer trains along the Northern Network. With Monday being 142094 from Danby to Nunthrope and Sunday being 142026 from Hartlepool to Billingham on the Teeside Airport Train. My thoughts on journeys that could possibly be empty...
