Now well into their third decade of service the Pacers are still working hard. 142067 is on a diagram that starts with a departure at 4.45am and does not finish until after midnight. In that time it will cover 480 miles between Blackpool South and Colne including 258 station stops (I should get out more!). The other three diagrams that cover these services are only marginally less arduous. Here the unit heads east from Rishton, next stop Church & Oswaldtwistle. The houses occupy the site of the station goods yard.
