Donkeys on tour

« on: September 19, 2011, 21:22:08 »

The thread 'Re: Stock cascade of class 150s' seems to be drifting slightly which gave me an idea to start a new one on pacers on unusual routes...

i don't have more details but apparently a 142 has been to yeovil junction (and has the record time for exeter-yeovil)

any more details (or even photos would be great)

maybee we can add more pacer sightings here rather than on threads about class 150's Grin

* = Disclaimer: FGW^▸ will deny all knowledge of said 153 making it to Portsmouth... But it did AFAIK^▸

I bet that poor 87 felt a bit homesick... No OHLE for a good 160 miles Shocked

Still impressive though Grin

With all due respect, as someone who drives one most days, the less I see, or read about them, the better. Ta!
