Named Class 143 units
When the units were based in north east England two units carried the following names 143001 River Tyne, 1430?? River Wear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Spotter (talk • contribs) 11:46, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Numbers
I have a photo of a 143, which has the number rubbed off. The door says 55677. Pretty much every other class page lists individual carriages #s and how they relate - how does it work for the 143s? -mattbuck (Talk) 21:06, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Try the fleet lists at the junction.org - there's a link in the article

Tidy
Added some reference tags, added technical section (please expand).

Put workings in historical order by region. Specifically required is more pre-privatisation working information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.102.43.12 (talk) 00:55, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Arriva Trains Wales Class 143 Refresh
A mechanical overhaul and interior refreshed commenced October 2009 on the Arriva Trains Wales Class 143 Pacer DMU trains. They are receiving retrimmed seats in the Arriva Trains moquette and high intensity head/rear lights. Each two car Class 143 Pacer takes three weeks to complete and is being carried out at Barton Hill. I shall be visiting Cardiff for one day during my Spring holiday to the South West towards the end of March and will take photographs and note the improvements in more detail. By then the programme should be at least half way through. --Peter Skuce (talk) 11:55, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

When did the last one actually run?
Geoff Marshall's youtube video has his ticket on screen at 29 seconds and it says the 28th

railadvert and rail news both say 29th (the Saturday way the 29th).©Geni (talk) 20:24, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't know. Geoff's video was published on 31st and I'd assumed it was that day as I hadn't spotted the date on the ticket.  RailCam data has workings for 601 & 609 on 28th, but only an ECS working for 601 on 29th.  If the sources differ it would be better just to say at the end of May.  --David Biddulph (talk) 07:36, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Geoff has since added a comment to the video that the video was shot on the 28th and the last trains ran on the 29th.©Geni (talk) 18:46, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
