The infamous Pacer trains had become something of a laughing stock on the North East rails towards the end of their working life - but one Northumberland school has come up with an ingenious plan to make use of two former carriages.
The Dales School in Blyth is currently in the process of refurbishing the train into two carriages that will then be used to help in the education of pupils.
The Dales is a specialist primary school operating on two sites in Blyth and Ashington, providing education to children with additional needs.
