As part of the move to re-introduce 142's to the West Country, 142001 and 142064 were scheduled to travel today from Newton Heath (Manchester) to Exeter.
I have been sorting through my slides and came across this shot of 142026 in "Great Western" livery at Manchester Victoria on 6th September 1988 shortly after it had been transferred FROM the West Country because it was unsuitable
