Welcome to the forum welshman. Some interesting insights into ATW▸ (Arriva Trains Wales (former TOC▸ (Train Operating Company)))'s fleet there, particularly that WAG» (Welsh Assembly Government - about) have told ATW to make their pacers last till 2018!  Shocked That sure is going to mean a lot of TLC▸ (three letter code ) from the crew at Canton for them to last that long. Guaranteed income for the companies who make spare parts for 142s and 143s! I understand that they are in much better condition than the fleet that FGW▸ (First Great Western) have trundling around Bristol and Exeter areas though.
Are 143's aren't in that bad of a condition, OK they are horrible, but they have been recenltyish refurbished and will be again soon.

More Pacer refurbishments?
All of our local fleet will be refurbished.
The 143's will have technical work carried out, a deep clean, re-upholstered seats, new seat covers, new toilet and a new colour sceme.

There was a 158 sat at Milford on Sunday lunchtime, unfortunately I can't quite remember if it was the new livery or not.
