Leyland Class 142s

Leyland Class 142s.

The 'marmite' of the North West's rail network in England. Half bus, half train. Essentially a Leyland National bus on a wagon chassis. These units were planned to last less than 10 years but have managed to last 32 years and are still going.

94/96 of these units still survive in daily service with Arriva Trains Wales and Northern.

Opinions on them? Personally, I like them for their quirkiness.
