Well 142 003 was working the 18.08 Service from Rainhill to Liverpool Lime Street Last night so this one hasn't yet gone to FGW.
And also there was quite a few 142's out yesterday so there must be a sortage of 156's & 150's the latest Class 142 to be painted into Northern Livery seems to be ex Arriva Trains North East 142 026 as a spotted it yesterday though didn't get a ride on it though
.
It just shows that no matter how mutch Northern don't like the 142's they still keep on providing good service alotogh who would want to travel on one all the way from Liverpool to Huddersfeild.
