Class 142 'Pacer' 2 car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) 142064 as operated by Northern Rail at Shildon Station in County Durham (UK) with a Bishop Auckland to Saltburn service train.
Shildon Station is on the route of the world's first steam locomotive railway, the Stockton and Darlington Railway which dates from 1825 although nowadays the railway is either called the Tees Valley Line or Bishop Line which runs from Bishop Auckland to Darlington, Middlesbrough and Saltburn.
This train was completely overwhelmed by the numerous passengers boarding here who had visited Shildon National Railway Museum and the Great Goodbye Mallard 75 event so thank you to Northern Rail for not laying on extra units and trains to and from the museum as promised.
The Class 142 Pacer units with their atrocious noise, vibration, harshness (NVH) and general ambience levels do nothing to enhance the image of the railways in this area in my opinion.
Class 142's have been in service since 1985/7 and are thankfully due for withdrawal by 2020.
British Rail Class 221 'Super Voyager' Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) 221117 as operated by Virgin Trains West Coast just after working the 1R24 05:51 (09:41 RT) arrival from Holyhead at Euston Station in London (UK).
221117 was built by Bombardier Transportation and entered service on April 12th 2002.
Note the Dellner type coupling system at the front of the train. The Dellner Coupling is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler which connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.
The energy absorption technology in a Dellner Coupling allows collisions at speeds of up to 9 mph with no structural damage and up to 22 mph with deformation while the carriages remain on track.

Lancaster University: passing University Campus with a northbound Motorail 25/09/1980.
I have the loco recorded as 86232 but it is plainly not a class 86 & is probably an 85 number now unknown.
Rescanned from negative.
