- Onboard Northern 142061 on the Preston to Ormskirk line with some jointed track and serious pacer bounce! This must be one of the best lines to ride a pacer on in the north of England! 26/09/2017

The Fat Controller shut up northern is a good company
Brings back memories of hull-scarbrough line - pacer at 70mph on jointed track is one hell of a ride (toilet usages after a few beers was impossible).
It breaks my mind the fact that these had bogs in the first place
Why do these things have bogs and some trains don’t and the trains that don’t are bigger than this
@@thatbusdriverwhoiscalledja3972The pacers were often used on some quite long journeys - Carlisle to Newcastle or Leeds to Manchester for example, so a bog was needed. Only a very basic one though.
@@montyburnsgaming3609I've seen the water in the toilet bowl moving about quite a lot when I rode one of these Pacers once back in 2016. It just shows how bouncy these Pacer trains can be....
@@sambee8982f
This inspired one of my childhood stories where a Pacer derails after hitting buckled track, crashes over a cliff edge and unearths a Viking ship!
The pacer trains symbolise everything that is wrong in the UK; cheap and underfunded infrastructure.
But cute 😍 anyway!
Think of it as a rare third world charm you wouldn't get the privilege of experiencing in other countries
Always turned up though n ran regardless of the weather....
I see the toilet door is open, going for a stand up Pee is a pacer was always a risky buisness 😅
How they have toilets is also a question itself
The combination of flats and joints make a great rave beat.
Hellfire!
That was extremely rough 😂
@@TheJamster2006 that's some serious bouncing
I'm (stammers) hallucinating again!
@@TheJamster2006at least they retired them now
It was fun between Southport and burscough bridge. At 70mph the bounce felt alive
Those wheels made some mad beats, someone please make a song w it
Using the bog was fun at speed....
There was always piss on the floor no wander why
I went on one theses when I went to Yorkshire in a southerner and I bloody enjoyed the ride on the pacer
Gotta love the Pacer.
I love them like I love root canal surgery...
Long love the Pacer Trains!
Like a proper old school DMU with the jointed tracks, rough as...
That was really something 😆😆 I used to think only some of our express Indian trains would jump like that.
The old Southern Region 4-COR electric units used to sway like hell, because they only had a screw coupling. The 142s have like a Freightliner bar coupling between the two coaches, that is mighty strong.
Wow, are you sure that the tracks have been replaced with a trampoline 😁😁😁😁
Brankwurst tv maybe lol
@@LokiAvivson maybe it's the suspension that is a trampoline.
@@nightelectricityuniverse7349 It is basically a bus body bolted on to a coal wagon chassis so yes, the suspension is pretty crude to put it kindly!!
@@soundseeker63 nahh. It's a streetshite in disguise as a train!!😂😂😂😂😂
Oh boy, i sure can’t wait to ride one of these down a bumpy rural line almost fully downhill!
Love these Bouncy Pacers, it takes me back to the Nostalgia. 🤩
Class 101's used to bounce more than pacers, and they're my favourite train. Another thing is that noise of the wheels on the tracks, you don't get that sound on the new trains, new trains don't feel like train rides compared to the old trains, for me it's always been that clickety click sound and the noisy engines that made a train ride feel special :)
As a kid grew up with the pacer it holds its own not the perfect machine but a trip on the train to the seaside couldn't beat it getting exited as the sound of the train bouncing over the joints its beautiful
The class 101s had a completely different track sound than normal trains clickety click sounds
0:12 That was almost a foot of side ways movement lol
That looks just how it did on the Valley lines, down in south Wales when I was a kid! (And even up to a few years ago haha)
Our suburban trains (modern EMU's) can be like this on some parts of the suburban network. They run on 3ft 6in (1,067mm) gauge.
Where do you live where you have modern trains that bounce like this?
@montyburnsgaming3609 Thinking about it now, it was probably track quality more than anything else. Our network's having a major track renewal programme where the network is closing in stages. This is in Auckland btw.
@@DC4444 Yes it was the same with the pacers in the UK. Ride quality was ok on smooth track but on jointed track it could get super bouncy like in the video. Quite fun trains to ride though.
What fleet is it?
@Great_WesternTVFan AM Class EMU, but I suspect the trains aren't the cause of it. After I posted the original comment, it came out that our track maintenance got really far behind and the foundations on parts of the network needed replacing.
One time I was coming home from a party on one of these I was drunk out my mind. I was using the toilets and we hit a corner. I think more piss landed on the wall than actually I’m the bowl 😂😂😂
And people say that Pacers have a smooth ride?
Trainspotting Junction they do on welded rail!
bruh no one says that
Who? Who says that?
Who ever said that
On smooth track yes.
the banging noise in the background is making a banging tune
i wonder why putting a bus on a freight car wasnt a good idea.......
Train videos UK lol ikr
Because of this abomination
It was cheap
Well they saved our railways and are still reliably operating daily at 30 odd years old. I doubt any modern train will last as long as the pacer has.
@@guitarplayerforu They saved certain rural lines that might otherwise have been uneconomical to maintain services on under BR, but they have long since outstayed there welcome.
First time I ever went on a pacer early in 1986 was on this line!
There were times going to and from Colne where I used to live that the 142s were bouncing about so much that I was in genuine fear that the thing was about to derail or topple over, those things were scary at speed... :S
How can a train be so bouncy. I know Pacer's do bounce a lot but not that much, them tracks must be bad.
The bloxy beast1227 its a great line to do a pacer bash on between Preston and Ormskirk
Mr Burns ok they are not jumping as much anymore lol
the track is fine when you're on a 150/153/156
@Wesley Holt I’ve been on jointed rails on a 150, it really isn’t. Unlike pacers, class 150’s have gangway doors. “Out of sight, out of mind”
I mean come on, they are 🗑 because they are basically buses on a freight chassis. I hate that even if I don’t experience them since I don’t live in the North
Got to love them
Jeeesus! what a roller coaster! (not gonna lie the track clatter sound pretty damn cool though)
woah that's an bumpy ride! would love to try it
I love those lowrider trains.
I can clearly see the kids who somehow enjoy the bounce
love pacers
Imagine this Glasgow Penzance
I know it doesn't exist but imagine that *fort William* to penzance
LOL
Imagine Wick Penzance! (Can't call at Inverness due to layout, unless you want a reversal)
Think I would rather walk...
Someone actually drove a pacer (in train sim classic) from Penzance to London and from Edinburgh to London, calling at every stop. Only took them 8 hours...
You used to be able to get a good bounce on the end bench seat of a class 304 between Sandbach and Crewe!
Okay that doesnt look incredibly bad. The trains in my local area always bounce like heck. Its quite charming imo. The centre of gravity is very high and there are no shared bogies, so when the train moves over pointwork the train sways sideways like a boat in rough water.
Are the tracks that bad in the Netherlands?
everyone: talking about memories and train and how it bounces (a few people on the comments: "music"
Can’t imagine this on some parts of the Tyne valley line 🤣
Pffft. For a 142 this is smooth!
Nice video Jamie!
Sweet music to my ears
Musical track nice beat question: Is that the old joint track
It is indeed
How fast was it going
Love it!
All jokes aside, this is a sick beat!
That's music to my ears
I was behind 142061 on the A17 near Terrington, as it was being delivered by road to the mid norfolk railway
Looks like it feels like triangular wheels and sleepers on top of the rails
It feels like I’m in a tumble dryer
Good suspension Weee
makes a nice beat along with it
Sounds like a drum almost
Thats the sound when you coast on Snow hill lines roblox in a class 143 pacer
This will be perfectly normal to 90% of Northern Rail passengers!! Whats more, I bet the train was only traveling at 50-60mph.
We have put up with terrible trains and terrible tracks at terrible prices for so long it has almost become part of our way of life lol.
You can measure the speed on jointed rails: speed in mph is the number of rail joints in 41 seconds. Nowadays you can also use a GPS speed app on your phone (that will probably start bleeping if the train goes faster than the speed limit on any nearby road).
It's when the contents of the lavatory start getting thrown out (at around 45mph) that you need to get worried.
BTP : you can’t have 2 different colour doors [313201]
Also BTP this is fine
I wish i was there-
seems fun ngl
That train should do the calidonian sleeper!
142061 went to the Mid Norfolk last night via the A17 and A47..
"Do you think its safe?"
"Pardon?"
"I said Do you think its safe??"
"No."
Nobody was killed in a Pacer crash in the type's 40 year career.
@@cedriclynch Makes sense. I was just quoting some railway inspectors from a Top Gear episode 🙂
Was that at 60 MPH or 75 MPH (Pacer's top speed)?
75.
Perfect if you like being jolted back and forth.
reminds me of railway back home in India
I remember the toilet door slamming 😂
Leyland Pacers like this one was tested in Three Southeast Asian countries (Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia) for evaluation purpose. in case of State Railways of Thailand, it failed the test as the same peculiar problem is inherited here. None are purchased.
Probably exacerbated by bad track although I don’t think Pacers have any secondary suspension?.
I expect the Pacer shock absorbers are maintained ok.
Remember the Pacer was a stop gap inexpensive design offered by BR to meet the Conservative government of the days cost cutting demands. Originally offered were class 210 and class 150 I believe.
That's gotta be an absolute nightmare if you had to take a shit in one of those things.
You don’t want to in any of northern’s toilets 😳🤮
NFL looks fun

Hallo everyone, I'm going to spend a few days in London, where is the nearest station in which could I actually find some Pacers? Thanks
Nearest to London for pacers would probably be Cardiff
@@TheJamster2006 oh dear, maybe next time 😅. What about the stadler flirt? Where can I found one of that? Thanks!
@@lucaspublictransport995 id say Norwich for them
Need to go up north,every other train is one..
That look fun to me
TO THE WINDOOOOOWS...TO THE WAAALLS
I like the sound of the track clattering
Never forget the oldham loop between Manchester Victoria and rochdale
Had good suspension though to bounce like that lol
Leave it alone, it was happily jumping for joy :(
20th Centry Fox should use this pacer as their movie intros
Are Pacers an instrument?
Yeah, an instrument of torture...
THE FITNESS GRAM PACER TEST IS A MULTI-STAGE AROBIC CAPACITY TEST WHICH GETS MORE DIFFICULT AS YOU PROGRESS....
trains still look like this?
no, this train was taken out of service 5 years ago
#percussionlessonfromtrains
They are more bouncier than the amtrak super liner cars we have here in America
coming from Australia i have ridden some horrible trains in my 15 years on this earth but nothing i say nothing comes close to this absolute torture machine of a train
Ok
Coming from Greater Manchester. Where they’ve operated for all 35+ years of their life. They are perfectly fine.
It would suck if you were stood in the middle where the carriage join and it bounced like at 0:10
MA Productions that looks like it was lifting of the tracks on one side
They should build safer trains, tracks, and go slower!!!
Indeed
@@maproductions9945 or simply just weld the tracks
Yeah you could well fall over. There must've been quite a few accidents on pacers.
Is it actually that bouncy ive been on a pacer and it wasnt like that
Well, pacers were nicknamed 'Nodding Donkeys' because back then, most track was jointed and only maintained for safety, not comfort. Most track today is what is called welded rail, this track is where all joints are welded. This provides more smother, quieter, and a more 'boring' experience for passengers! The reason the Pacer you was on didn't bounce that much is that it was on welded rail. You can tell if the rail is welded or not, because if it welded you won't here that 'clickity clack' sound, like the sound in the video. Due to the fact Pacers don't have bogies, the bounce a lot on jointed track, but on welded track, it provides a bumpier ride than a normal train but a much smoother one than jointed! Hope that help[ed! Thanks, and bye!
Yes, there's a section of the OMS - PRE line that is that bad, but only the pacers bounce a lot, other classes are fine on it,
Indian trains : "Allow us to introduce ourselves"
This looks familiar
203 series at the pnr: *intense laughing*
Fun fact: That's actually Aeroflot.
Still better than most of the roads though
I'd probably try to stay stood up
Trampoline!
Meanwhile Morocco opens a TGV line.
Jack the gamer did this in I hate pacers
bouncing like buggery but its got a great beat 😁
Feel so sorry
Still smoother than an 800 azuma
100% true 🤣
Way better than the 385
quieter than the 331
800 azuma is really smooth
@@LevelCrossingFan92 They’re not
pacer are now replaced
