First series Pacer 141113 had a busy summer season, working almost continuously forthe six weeks of the summer holidays at the Midland Railway Butterley. The unit was used for 29 days during the holidays, mostly forthe popular 'trains to the seaside' event, due to non-availability of other stock and a desire to constrain costs. It also worked for three days shuttling passengers into the 'Indietracks' festival where it was used for 14 hours each day. The 1983-built unit, which has already spent 17 years in preservation, is currently having its seats re-trimmed and receiving attention to its doorway wells, including corrosion repairs and the fitting of improved non-slip surfaces.
