142023 is a bus seat pacer although i don't think its an ex FGW as it does not have the bright pink poles unlike some others do.
Regarding the question how many pacers are bus seated in the North East then from my observations it does seem to be the main ones are 142023, 142027, 142029, 142064, 142067, 142068 and 142070 so in actual fact, they are quite rare up here unless electrification has made the allocations more loose these days, I mean there has probably been times where a Newton heath pacer has been allocated to North East diagrams and I have also noted more ex FNW 156's have been allocated in the North East than in the past.
