Rolling stock used on Tamar Valley Line

[Drsatan]

From what I'm aware, 150s and 153s are used on Tamar Valley Line services. However, since FGW use ex-Northern 142s on Devon Metro services, I'd be interested to know whether 142s/143s are also used on Tamar Valley services.

By the way, I'm not a pacer fan.

As far as im aware, the Pacer fleet hasnt run up the Tamar Valley line since the days of the british rail Skippers, and so the line remains a sprinter only line...

Of course though there isnt really anything stopping a pacer run to Bere Alston and hopefully sooner than later Tavistock, but its the sharp curves and steep gradients of the old East Cornwall Mineral Railway from Bere Alston to Gunnislake thats the problem...

150/2 or 153.

Nothing coupled allowed on the line.

Nothing coupled allowed on the line.

Why's that then?
