This is to protect the stability of the rail timetable. Unfortunately, manufacturing delays with the new fleet have meant a small number of pacers will remain in service into 2020.</p><p> </p><p>We will work alongside Northern to progress all options to remove Pacers as soon as possible however our top priority is to ensure a stable service for passengers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 31/10/2019 11:16:27 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
