All of the class 142 vehicles are listed in the Platform 5 combined editions 2008, 2002, & 1998 as being owned by Angel Trains. I don't know of any (passenger) train operating company who actually "own" the rolling stock they use, all of it went to the three leasing companies at privatisation. All the class 143 and 144's are owned by Porterbrook except for about 6 or seven which are owned by various local authorities in South Wales. I don't know the lease details but presumably there would be scope for the operators to do "Re-furbs" to their own spec written into the agreements.
