Title: 143's going into refurb? Post by: Shazz on January 21, 2008, 16:52:02 Unsure if they're being done in canton or not, but i saw what looked like 2 empty fgw 143's towards cardiff central, in the direction of canton
unless of course they're being use for Taunton > Cardiff Title: Re: 143's going into refurb?

They have been recently.unless of course they're being use for Taunton > Cardiff They are going to be refurbished aswell but I thought they were following 150's through and I doubt that FGW would put two out-of-service at once.

143's are being done once the 150 programme is finished and they are going to pullman in cardiff aswell. they were probably on taunton-cardiff service fgw use whatever stock they have regardless of what class of unit is diagrammed for it.
