An old diesel train which has operated passenger services calling at Brigg station has been spared a final trip to the scrapyard and will instead enjoy a new lease of life.
'Rail bus' Pacer unit No. 144006 has found a home in preservation on the Cambrian Railway in Wales alongside classmate No. 144007, Brigg Blog has been informed.
No. 144006 is pictured here passing Brigg signal box when the old wooden level crossing was still operating.
Pacers have been phased out on the Brigg line in favour of more modern units, we understand.
However, our Saturday-only passenger train service has been suspended in recent weeks.
