Class 142
The Bus That Became a Train
The British Rail Class 142 Pacer was a marriage of bus and rail technology introduced at a time when a cost effective train was required for the network. In the mid-1980s the 96 trains presented a fresh image in a period when the UK railway system was in need of investment. The fleet has lasted over thirty years and is due to be retired by 2020.
