Pacer Chaser madness !
Well with the dreaded Pacer railbuses on borrowed time the challenge is on to secure some unusual shots for posterity.
I can't believe I got talked into a night time visit to Edale amid frequent snow showers and an icy wind that would cut you in half but we managed to secure a shot.
Here 2 x 2-car sets 142 034 & 142 011 calls briefly at Edale with train 2S60 the 20.45 Manchester Piccadilly to Sheffield stopping service. The trouble with picking such remote locations is the short dwell time for a time exposure and the added challenge of predicting where it will stop when the platform has no stop car marks. This isn't the shot I intended as we were thwarted by a 4 car formation. The idea was to get the signal box in shot behind a 2-car so I will no doubt be back for a second attempt.
