I know that there are a few people at the East Lancs who would love to get some 142s and the like. I personally don't care for them, but I can appreciate why people do. I think there'll always be someone who's willing to preserve something, especially if it's what they grew up with. I wouldn't mind a 158 on the East Lancs I suppose, but we've got a few units being overhauled at the moment (108 and 122) so I don't know how the diesel department and carriage and wagon would go on with regards to keeping them in a servicable conndition. I'm personally looking forward to the day when you can stand in Bolton Street station with a Jubilee at the head of one train, a Class 50 at the head of another and a 185 sitting in platform 2, shuttling up and down to the completed Baron Street complex. Ah well, I can always dream...
