The Telford Steam Railway has just taken delivery of Pacer unit No.144013, seen as the ideal unit to use for non-steam services on the railway. 144013 arrived at the railway over 1st/2nd July and apart from needing a clean, the unit is ready for service although the Telford Steam Railway is currently closed with no date set for reopening.
