There's a lot of people who have suffered them for years and have a lot of bent up Pacer Rage inside them...

All Desiros are "euro-trains" shoehorned into the UK loading gauge.AlistairW wrote:Possibly, but do they 'fit' as it were? I don't mean gauge wise I mean could you mentally picture such a design being used in the UK? I can't think of any train design that we have 'pinched' from the Europeans except for the Eurostars of course (feel free to prove me wrong on this one mind!). I doubt the idea will ever take off, although I'm not saying its a bad one! They could well hold the answer to many branch line operations across the country.richard222 wrote:I think we should be looking abroad for pacer units for units such as Stadler GTWs and Bombardier Talents

395001, by Pacer Replacement are you referring to the CSR Ziyang trains which currently features on your display picture? No order for such trains were ever placed and were merely speculative, I think that idea has quietly died off... (Thank goodness).

The 395 class (Including 395001) is certainly not a pacer replacement. They're High-Speed Hitachi built trains to run on the new Channel Tunnel Rail Link between Kent and St Pancras. They will operate domestic routes on the 3rd rail and join the High Speed Line somewhere in Kent and run at 140mph to the centre of London. Certainly not Pacer replacements.395001 wrote:The Picture I got is the pacer replacement under the number of 395001 where did you get it from
