I'd rather see one in rusty brown and the windows smashed out.

That one's on the 19:00 from Manchester Victoria to Sheffield - if you're quick you'll catch it...

I have noticed that aswell, what a nice feature of the bodywork

Proof, as if it were needed, that you can't polish a turd.

I will say, I'd rather have a 143 then an FGW 153

I'd rather have most things than a 153, well, 153s are better than any of that foreign muck that's getting imported.

Do you mean Desiros?
I'd like to see GTWs, Re460s, Taurus's and ICEs in the UK - pity our gauge won't take them

They need them for extra capacity, and good since Northern are getting rid of them for 158s.
Why didnt FGW order those 158s instead though......
