I believe the refurbished 143 will be back this week. The unions have already inspected it at Eastleigh I gather.

refurbished 143617 was stabled on the siding next to platform 1 at Btm this evening, looked quite smart although it was getting dark

I saw it in traffic at BRI on Sat 20th December in daylight, sporting the 'ever so trendy', West livery... A nylon purse from a sow's ear?
