Pacer 144009 has had an interesting year. After withdrawal from Northern it was presented to Greater Manchester Fire Service, but in the interim went to the East Lancs Railway. It now sports a fictitious Great Midlands Trains livery and there are reports it has been used on a filming contract - one to keep an eye out for. It was also used at the East Lancs summer 2021 Diesel Gala running shuttle services between Bury and Ramsbottom on 3rd July, seen here crossing the River Irwell heading back to Bury, but is likely to become a static training vehicle in the near future.
