British Rail Class 142 - The British Rail Class 142 is a class of Pacer diesel multiple units used in the United Kingdom. 96 units were built by BREL in Derby between 1985 and 1987. They were a development of the earlier Class 141 which were introduced in 1984.
They were initially built for use on rural branch lines. However, as of September 2011 they are mainly used on busy commuter routes in the major cities in the north of England, with some also in use on local services around Cardiff and on Devon branch lines.
Under the Disability Discrimination Act drawn up in the mid-1990s, all public transport will need to be accessible by 2019. Pacers are unable to meet this requirement so will have to be withdrawn by the end of 2019.
The train body is based on that of the original designs of Thomas Kenneth Cullum and the Leyland National bus, and many fixtures and fittings of the bus can be found on the trains.[6][7] Each train has a seating capacity of any number between 102[2] and 121 passengers per twin-car set. In theory there should be 106 or 121 seats per unit.[8] However, many units have had seats removed to provide additional space for wheelchair access.[citation needed] The same engines and mechanical transmissions were used as on Class 141, as well as the double-folding external doors.
Excessive flange squeal on tight curves has been a problem on many routes operated by 142s,[9] caused by the long wheelbase and lack of bogies. The rough ride which can result has led to the units being nicknamed (along with the related Class 143s) Nodding Donkeys. In Scarborough train crews referred to them as Spam Tins. The 142s were officially known as Skippers when they were briefly allocated to Cornwall in the mid-1980s. They were transferred elsewhere when they proved to be unsuitable for the sharply curved branch lines there.

Tarka Line - The Tarka Line (named after the animal hero in Henry Williamson's book Tarka the Otter) is a railway line from Exeter to Barnstaple in Devon, England. The line follows the River Creedy, River Yeo and River Taw for some of its route. At Coleford Junction there is a branch to Okehampton, which has recently reopened to passenger trains as the Dartmoor Railway.
Communities served: Exeter -- Newton St. Cyres -- Crediton -- Yeoford -- Copplestone -- Morchard Bishop -- Lapford -- Eggesford -- King's Nympton -- Umberleigh -- Tawstock -- Barnstaple
Parts of the line are single track, meaning that trains travelling in opposite directions must sometimes wait for each other. The full journey from Barnstaple to Exeter takes just over 1 hour, on-par with the journey time in a car. Beyond Barnstaple, the railway used to continue to Ilfracombe or Instow and Bideford. Part of the latter route is preserved as the Bideford & Instow Railway, while sections of both routes have been reopened as cycleways on the Tarka Trail.
Passenger services on the line are operated by First Great Western using Class 143, Class 150 or Class 153 diesel multiple units. During the summer months a Sunday-only service operates (on behalf of Devon County Council) between Exeter Central and Okehampton.
The majority of passengers travel to or from Barnstaple -- about three times the number of all the other stations north of Exeter. Chapelton is the quietest station in Devon. Some of the smaller stations have seen a decline in passenger numbers during the last few years, although there have been significant increases at Umberleigh, Eggesford, and Copplestone and on the line overall. Comparing the year from April 2009 to that which started in April 2002, passenger numbers at Barnstaple have increased by 71%.

XA10 low light & sound test at Exeter Cathedral, Devon, England.
Details below...
XA10 low light test, manual control, MXP mode, 50i. Please excuse the shaky camera, I simply dashed into the Cathedral to take some footage after delivery of my camera which I'm still learning. I was unable to set up a tripod at the time and subject to hand-held using the viewfinder. The video is a simple test shot I wanted to do, to see how the XA10 copes with low light levels and how well the on board mic captures sounds. BTW, I'm an atheist and follow no religion but wanted to capture what other types do out of pure curiosity. A nobody tried stopping me filming, lmfao.
