message: To avoid confusion with central Southern England - i.e. between Sussex and Dorset, I have changed the title to 'South West England' as it reflects the area correctly. Devon, Somerset and Cornwall are NOT in Southern England, they are in the South West. --Peter Skuce (talk) 13:04, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

message: What's all this about 142005 being "the first unit to be retired"? As noted in the Accidents section, 142059 was withdrawn in 1991 and 142008 was withdrawn in 1999 (following the 1999 Winsford railway accident). These numbers have remained absent from the Platform 5 combined volume ever since. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:39, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: It says 142005 was the first Class 142 unit to be withdrawn from the current Northern franchise's allocation of the type - not the first one overall - Coradia175 (talk) 14:39, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  First withdrawal 

message: I believe that the ATW unit pictured in the liveries section should be noteworthy due to its number having both 420 and 69 in it.These are significant numbers in internet culture and should be mentioned.

message: Heads up the last Northern service operated by a pacer happened today, class 142004.
Sadly the only proof at the moment is via Northern on twitter should anybody have any reliable sources then please update the article.
Northern say the final service was 16:36 Kirbby to Manchester Victoria. Maurice Oly (talk) 18:29, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Last Northern pacer had been retired 

message: Claas 142’s were retired from Northern on 27th of November 2020, 142s left Great western railway in 2011 and were never based at Laira Traction & Rolling Stock Maintenance Depot while with GWR instead they were based at Exeter TMD. Maurice Oly (talk) 22:13, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: And your source is? We can't simply take your word for it: may I remind you that WP:V is policy. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:34, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: 142 we're used on Exeter branchline routes. Laira is a HST depot not a local unit depot. Hence why you will never find any pictures of a 142 at Laira but plenty at Exeter TMD.  Speaking of 142029 is actually at the Plym Valley Railway not Chasewater.146.198.123.102 (talk) 17:58, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Some 142s were based at Exeter depot from 2007 until 2011, but that doesn't mean that they didn't visit Laira depot. Regardless of the classes actually allocated to a depot, most depots are capable of providing service for other classes - overnight stabling, fuelling and minor maintenance categories, such as the "A" and "B" exams. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:29, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
