Don't know what the problem was myself, but must have been serious, it was the 1201 Lime St to Wigan that failed!

Are they banned on Middlesbrough-Whitby line?

Its not that the 142's are banned but that the 156's are a vehicle better suited to the work , these days 142's are more centred around urban areas.
