Train Sim World Compatible: Blackpool Branches: Preston - Blackpool & Ormskirk
The 1980s beckon and bumpy rides abound! Experience the infamous Class 142 Pacer, and classic loco-hauled expresses, across multiple lines and popular destinations in the North of England. Partner Programme Developer Just Trains make their show-stopping debut into Train Sim World with Blackpool Branches: Preston - Blackpool & Ormskirk!
The Loco
Class 142 'Pacer'
Much derided by many an enthusiast and commuters due to their loud engines and bumpy ride, these cheap, utilitarian ‘buses on rails’ lasted many decades in service, prompting headlines of “the train that never dies” and “Britain’s hated Pacer – the train that just won’t go away”. Their ‘temporary’ services lasted from 1984 right through until 2021 and saw them take to the rails across Britain – from Carlisle and Dumfries in the north, to Devon and Cornwall in the south as well as Wales and of course the northwest of England, including Blackpool.
