141113_1603_Swanwick - a photo on Flickriver

            It’s a Thursday and I did not expect to find anything running on my visit to the Midland Railway Centre, however I was wrong and here is 141113 ambling through Swanwich Junction station with what I was told a private charter, 3rd March 2016.

Unit History
The class 141 units were built in 1984 using Leyland National bus body parts on a four-wheel chassis. Although much cheaper than a conventional DMU there were many disadvantages and the twenty units of class 141 were modified a number of times during there service lifetime. The class 141 is unique in that it is narrow body due to using standard Leyland National bus parts whereas the later “Pacer” units (class 142/43/44), had modified parts to make them wider, enabling seating to be raised from 94 to 120. The class 141 was always non-standard and was withdrawn by 1997. 141113 was bought for preservation in 2001 and has had extensive work done, including the rebuilding of one of the engines and a complete exterior overhaul and repaint. It re-entered service at the start of 2007. This unit is preserved in the later pattern of West Yorkshire livery and retains its West Yorkshire interior and period posters.
