Class 142 (142011) arriving at Butterley station. Class 142 diesel multiple unit passenger trains were built for British Rail from 1985 to 1987, with a high level of commonality with the widely-used Leyland National bus. They are part of the Pacer family of railbuses. The last set was withdrawn from service in 2020. This one is now based at the Midland Railway - Butterley in Derbyshire. | Adrian Watson

A couple of #class142 Pacer trains, looking superb in their retro liveries! At the Midland Railway Centre. #uktrainspotting #trains #diesellocomotive #britishrailways #railway #railways #trainspotting #railroad #heritagerailway #pacer | Adrian Watson

For such a cheaply designed, short term stop gap, train, these Pacer units lasted for around 37 years on the mainline. Loved and loathed in equal measure, they are a notable feature in British railway history! This one is at the Midland Railway - Butterley in Derbyshire. | Adrian Watson | Facebook

The genius that is class 142 Pacer door. Look how the bottom of the door has been designed to cope with the fact there is a step immediately behind it. The bottom of the door splits. Sheer design and engineering genius. Well done British Rail Derby, well done! | Adrian Watson
