This is a genuine original COVID-19 passenger information sticker removed from Class 143 “Pacer” unit 143616, preserved following the unit’s withdrawal from service.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, stickers such as this were applied to trains across the UK to inform passengers of government and railway health guidance. Their short period of use makes them a unique reminder of a defining moment in modern railway history.

This example comes directly from an operational Class 143 unit and shows authentic signs of service use, adding to its character and provenance.
