I guess a headboard will not be carried as that might indicate that FGW^▸ (First Great Western) is sorry to see them go. I would suggest 'Class 142 good riddance tour'. I do have a soft spot for them as they are basic trains doing a basic job + you can throw them about a bit more than a 15x ( they do give as good as they get though ) . It is not trying to be anything special, nothing fancy. Just getting on with it.

I'm just curious that this could be a tactic from FGW^▸ (First Great Western) if they win the franchise. If they allocated all the 150/1s to Reading after electrification there should be enough units to cover all the unelectrified branches. The depot concentrates on one diesel traction. All the turbos go west. They are DOO^▸ (Driver-Only Operation (that is, trains which operate without carrying a guard)) capable units now, some just need CSR^▸ (Cab Secure Radio) fitted but they will all have GSMR in the future so no problem. Only downside is branches will lose the through services which I suspect will happen anyway after electrification.
