The 142s were due to go to Northern as soon as the 150s were released by London Overground to be in place for the Dec 2010 timetable change, letting East Coast take on the 180s. However, as East Coast no longer require the 180s FGW▸ are keeping hold of the 142s until the LM▸ 150s arrive.

However, the 142's are visiting the frozen north 1 by 1 for re-painting into Northern livery minus the branding, 142009 has returned like this recently.

Hmm, he didn't exactly make himself clear but I assume d_m is referring to destination blinds.

Is it really power car blue? I think I read in RAIL that they were being outshopped in Northern's base colour in preparation for them returning up North in due course. It's a deep purple colour, probably not unlike power car blue at a glance.
