UK, having gained the nickname, "The Denmark", and was used for a while as a classroom/office by BREL but, somehow, it too ended up in Ireland. Its present location is believed to be at the now‐closed standard gauge Riverstown Old Corn Railway near Dundalk, but it is understood to be in a poor state of repair. Those railbuses were sent abroad in the hope of gathering export orders, but they never transpired. In addition, there was an experiment with a loco-hauled Leyland-built vehicle. A National bus-type body was placed on the underframe from Mk1 BCK coach number 21234. It was numbered RDB 977091 and was run in normal service around the London Midland region, alongside ordinary coaching stock, until withdrawn as being unsuitable. The only direct connection with railbuses was the use of the same type of bus-based body shell to reduce costs to a minimum. The coach is now preserved at the Llanelli and Mynydd Mawr Railway. Pacers As a result of those tests, British Rail ordered a series of two- and three-car railbuses, which became known as Pacers (or Skippers in the Western Region), and were allocated TOPS Classes 141–144. The next generation of Sprinter units were based on conventional railway design and bogie-mounted bodies. Routes Lines regularly served by railbuses include: Scotland Ayr – Dalmellington 1959–1964 Craigendoran – Arrochar 1959–1964 Darvel 1959–1964 Devon Valley 1959–1964 Falkirk – Grangemouth 1967–1968 Gleneagles – Crieff / Comrie 1958–1964 Kilmarnock – Ardrossan / Ayr 1962-1964 Larbert – Alloa 1967–1968 Lugton – Beith 1959–1962 Speyside 1958–1965 East Anglia Cambridge to Mildenhall railway Witham-Braintree branch line Witham-Maldon branch line Saffron Walden Railway Midlands Bedford – Northampton / Hitchin 1958–1959 Millers Dale – Buxton 1966–1967 Western Bodmin – Wadebridge 1964–1967 Kemble – Cirencester Town and Kemble-Tetbury 1959–1964 Yeovil Junction – Yeovil Town 1964–1966 – Pen Mill 1966 Preservation A number of the BR railbuses, both first and second generation examples have survived into preservation, as follows: Additionally, AC Cars railbus 79979 was preserved. It was the first of the railbuses to be delivered and spent all its working life in Scotland. In 1968, it was moved to Craigentinny where the chassis was scrapped, and it was used as a battery store. It was moved to make way for the TMD in 1977 and the grounded body sold to the Strathspey Railway in 1977. It was scrapped by MC Metals, Glasgow, in 1990. See also
