Tour appears to have gone according to plan. I understand 142063 developed a wheelflat on the Okehampton Jaunt and 142068 decided to loose coolant which meant 142009 came out to run with 142001 on the jaunt to Plymouth and back. The down run to Plymouth was completed in a creditable 57 minutes start to stop. All back in Exeter at 19:50 bang on time.

And here endeth the second session of class 142 operation in Devon. Grin

Thanks very much for posting those times, IndustryInsider.  Wink

I deliberately planned my shopping trip this afternoon around 13:40, just so I could also take in the photo opportunity of several 142s being dragged through Nailsea & Backwell - but I reckon they went through a bit earlier, so I missed them.

Are the same timings true of Wednesday? If so, I'll make a point of getting down to NLS a bit earlier!  Embarrassed

I missed them too, believe they left Exeter around 12:10.

Does anyone know what the final 142 working was on the Exmouth branch? Saturday 26th would have been the last possible day.

Any information would be much appreciated.

I have some clues to help but nothing concrete. 142009/30/63 were out on the Exmouth line on Saturday. The following information is based on units staying in their diagrams for the rest of the day:

142030 (with a 143) was due to run the 19:21 Paignton to Exmouth (arr 21:01) and then the 21:04 Exmouth to Exeter St Davids (arr 21:34).

142063 (with a 153) was due to run the 21:13 Paignton to Exeter St Davids (arr 22:05).

142009 (on its own) was due to run the 21:53 Paignton to Exeter St Davids (arr 22:45).

I suppose any of these units could have then formed later trips to Exmouth but I'm afraid I don't have any more information.

Yes, timings are exactly the same today, though being a Class 5 they might not be too accurate again!

Thanks again, IndustryInsider!  Grin

This time (at 13:35) I did see a couple of 142s trundling through Nailsea & Backwell Station - but no photos, unfortunately.  Embarrassed

I was wondering if I could attract some comments on issues from the commencement of the December Timetable on the Devon Metro in the aftermath of the 150 Stock Cascade and subsequent rediagramming and the departure of the 142s.    Does there appear to be any improvements in performance, overcrowding issues, passenger satisfaction.   I presume that most services are worked by 143s, having gained the Bristol area ones,  with more 150s and an additional 153 thrown in.
