Northern diesel unit 142 084 leaves Thornaby as the 1808 departure to Middlesbrough; the destination blind is showing "MetroCentre", apparently for the next service to be operated by this unit. I travelled on it from Newcastle (via Sunderland and the coast), though I believe it may have worked through from Carlisle, a truly epic journey for a unit designed for short distance work.
