Train exhibit is delayed... as it's still in use!

Museum's display of the 1980s Pacer diesel model is put on hold as rail providers still haven't updated their fleets

Rail operator Northern is still running several  British Rail Pacer 142 trains
They were meant to be replacing them with Spanish-built trains last year
The National Railway Museum has halted its latest exhibit over their use

Bosses at the National Railway Museum had hoped to be showing off their latest exhibit by now – a Pacer diesel model built in the 1980s.

However, the train’s arrival has now been delayed (of course!) as 100 of the converted buses are still being widely used across northern England.

Rail operator Northern was meant to start phasing them out at the end of last year, replacing them with more spacious, air conditioned Spanish-built trains.
