Where to catch a Pacer on a heritage line?

[ess]

Are there any heritage lines running Pacers with regular services? Thanks

The Wensleydale Railway have been running frequent Pacer services over the summer and are still advertising for 23 , 27 and 30th October. Might be worth checking with them before travelling though.

They do state ...

"In the immediate period after the railway re-opens after the Covid-19 Lock Downs we will be running a mainly Pacer service between Bedale and Scruton."

The latest Ipswich Transport Society Journal (ITSJ) - issue 681, dated October 2021 - includes a nice pic of 142061 at Thuxton on the Mid Norfolk Railway, dated 1 August 2021. There's also one or two photos of it on the 'Gallery' page of their website, linked below.

The Keith and Dufftown Railway took possession of 144022 last year, I’m not sure if they have it running yet but I look forward to a trip on it next season.

I believe there is a pacer at the Nottingham Heritage Railway (Formerly GCR(N))......but they have not yet restarted running.

The Mid-Norfolk Railway have two units, however regular timetabled eservices have now finished for the season. The pacers are often used for coach charters so may still yet get a run out!

Are any of the 141s still in use at any heritage railway? I think i remember seeing one on a heritage railway a few years ago? Or are they all out of use these days?

The Llanelli & Mynydd Mawr Railway operates 143606, 143607 and 142006. One of the 143s is to be withdrawn for static use, but one of the others will be in use on Santa Specials during the first weekend of December.

The Midland Railway Butterley has been running a preserved Pacer for the last 17 years! 141113 was in public service for four days last week and is a regular performer.

141113 at Midland Railway is the only one left in traffic and has worked 18 days since the railway reopened in July.
