I wont be sorry to see the back of them, though I think Exeter depot did a sterling job in maintaining them, especially getting 001 running.
On the subject of Paddington I'm sure a class 143 made it into the Capital once as a passenger train from my Controller days. Cant remember the circumstances but will ask around.

Back in Wales and West and Wales and Borders about 1998 - 2000 FGW▸ withdrew 21 25 HST▸ Cardiff to Paddington so Wales and West stepped in to fill the gap using a 158 and returning on a 0045 Paddington to Cardiff. However, one night no 158 was available and a 143 worked to Paddington and back. On occasions, a 150/2 worked. The 143 kept time !!! Edit note: Quote marks fixed. Chris.  |

any more news on booking this yet?
I was going to ask the same question as one of the regular Barnstaple line passengers is asking about this over at WNXX▸ . 90 seats only for Joe Public sounds a bit limp to be honest... |

but FGW▸ staff get it free apparently! Think Exeter staff deserve a freebie after putting up working the things.  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
