Guess the Station...

Go faster strips! As a regular user between Blackburn and Preston a long time ago I can confirm that you would get off deaf from the rattling with burnt legs from the heater. Made an interesting f***ing sound when setting off.

Still far better than current DMUs.

Why not get an LM, EMT or TPE train then, or the southern Northern Line?

You need to embrace your inner Pacer lover. I [deliberately] spent the whole day on pacers on Friday and my back is none the worse for it.

Pacers ain't too bad, I don't really have a problem with them.

I was aiming that at Ian Poole, who clearly does not share this sentiment!

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Because it was either a pacer or a Super Sprinter 156 and we wanted to get there quicker so we went on the earlier one which was the pacer to Manc Oxford Rd

Mind you came back on an EMT Express Super Sprinter 158 and was in total comfort

 

[Track Basher]

Send them all to Winsford.

They know what to do with them there.

Send out the Yorkshire search party have we lost Crossforth, lost in a horrific Pacer accident?

You damn right I don't and I'm proud to admit it

The day a pacer comes down The Chase Line, I throw myself in front of one and give it a bad rep!

So what do you think of the sort of Pacer Veg who go around deliberately riding on them?

They are either incredibly stupid or they have no life or require no use for any bodily functions

I, like a lot of people, like to live the life of luxury.

Got first class in a Pendolino and everything was silky smooth, got a ride on an EMT 158 Express Super Sprinter and everything was nice and comfortable.

I'll probably get on one of the Turbo-Sprinters tomorrow and that will be comfortable

Pacer Buses are not comfortable and and they should be given the 70012 treatment

Defending Ian...

What Pacer lover? Who in the right sense of mind would like a piece of [insert expletive here] like that?

I didn't think Pacer Wars were legal on this forum now anyway...?

 

[Crossforth]

Probs quite easy but go for it

And my finger is now out

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Is it impossible for you people just to accept that people like different things, and everything has its merit's and place in preservation?

Banbury. Not that I've ever been there, I just know it had some new semaphores!

They really aren't

I was saying it in support of you

 

[Lampshade]

You don't have much choice :P

Look better than any (Northern) DMU at the moment.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Blackpool North

And Pendolinos are very smooth thanks you!

 

[Track Basher]

Blackpool North too slow!!

Very funny

Think I was on a 104 on the preserved railway near Stoke/Uuttoxeter at Oakamoor a couple of years ago... Don't quote me that it was a 104 though

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Mind you Cross Country HSTs are no better than a Pacer

 

[MidnightFlyer]

And Pendolinos are very smooth thanks you!

Nope... Desiros are far and away smoother, as are HSTs.

 

[4SRKT]

Mind you Cross Country HSTs are no better than a Pacer

Now you're just being deliberately contrary.

 

[Crossforth]

Told you it was easy

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Nope... Desiros are far and away smoother, as are HSTs.

Now, I will agree with you on the Desiro part as I have travelled on many a Desiro, BTW ride and 350/1 and not a 350/2, but smoother than a Pendo? I don't think so!

 

[4SRKT]

Anyway.... if we can get back to the thread, it's Ian Poole's go, so let's get ready for a picture from the Midlands somewhere

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Now you're just being deliberately contrary.

And how am i being contrary, I haven't said they are worse than Pacers

And speaking of HSTs



Should be easy

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Pendos - really, they aren't, Pendos can be rougher than 156/a58 etc

 

[Matt Taylor]

In what way is that easy? A little bit of wall is all we have to go on.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Well it must be easy because MattE got it right

And I am not having you say that a Pendo is less smooth than a 156/158

 

[Track Basher]

I am too slow again. I knew it was International.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Dunno how, unless something gave it away
