Onboard Northern 142061 on the Preston to Ormskirk line with some jointed track and serious pacer bounce! This must be one of the best lines to ride a pacer on in the north of England! 26/09/2017

I rode one of these Pacer Trains between Lincoln and Gainsborough Lea Road once back in 2016, as part of my trip to the Mad About Trains model railway shop in Gainsborough (being as the bus on the 100 would've taken too long because I went in the early afternoon) and I could hardly stand because of how bouncy these trains were. I had a Class 144 on the way there, but I had a Class 142 on the way back to Lincoln after I bought a Hornby 2009 catalogue at Mad About Trains. It felt like I was on some sort of challenging fairground ride when I was walking the isles as the train was in motion bouncing at high speed! lol😂

Class 101's used to bounce more than pacers, and they're my favourite train. Another thing is that noise of the wheels on the tracks, you don't get that sound on the new trains, new trains don't feel like train rides compared to the old trains, for me it's always been that clickety click sound and the noisy engines that made a train ride feel special :)

Is it actually that bouncy ive been on a pacer and it wasnt like that

@blooga3941 5 жыл бұрын

Well, pacers were nicknamed 'Nodding Donkeys' because back then, most track was jointed and only maintained for safety, not comfort. Most track today is what is called welded rail, this track is where all joints are welded. This provides more smother, quieter, and a more 'boring' experience for passengers! The reason the Pacer you was on didn't bounce that much is that it was on welded rail. You can tell if the rail is welded or not, because if it welded you won't here that 'clickity clack' sound, like the sound in the video. Due to the fact Pacers don't have bogies, the bounce a lot on jointed track, but on welded track, it provides a bumpier ride than a normal train but a much smoother one than jointed! Hope that help[ed! Thanks, and bye!
