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.
