The 195 that had the derailment on Downhill Sidings has gone back to CAF at Newport so may be back after the rest are delivered
142078 was being stabled at Southport on Platform 6 today by itself.
Northern will now be announcing daily planned cancellations, with affected services being advertised as non-operational the evening before
https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/
Based on what's coming up in RTT from next week Northern are cancelling over 50% of services on routes where they have no yet announced cancellations
142058 and 142078 have moved to Blackburn King Street for ‘Warm Storage’.
150001 and 150002 have arrived at Newton Heath from the GWR for service. This should see thelast of the Pacers withdrawn

Given Northern are running less than 50% of services on most routes in the past couple of weeks, have they been using any Pacers in recent days?
Also does anyone know how the change of operator and COVID-19 has affected the refurbishment programme for the Sprinters?
I would most operators could run there service on a half fleet even with the social distancing in place , so suspect that pacers could easily go to warm storage for onward disposal or preservation without being used again.

142004 and 142090 also made this move yesterday.
142003 has made its way from Gascoigne Wood to Eastleigh assume to be scrapped.
