This is a genuine original bilingual “Keep Clear for Train Crew” floor sticker removed from operational railway service, preserved following use aboard Class 143 “Pacer” units during their later years in traffic.
These large-format warning stickers were fitted inside passenger saloons to ensure safe access routes remained clear for traincrew during operation. Featuring both Welsh and English text, they became a recognisable feature across Arriva Trains Wales operated fleets and other Welsh railway stock.
What makes this example especially unique is its sheer size. These stickers are absolutely massive in person and were designed to span wide sections of the carriage floor, making surviving originals exceptionally difficult to preserve intact once units were refurbished or withdrawn from service.
This example remains in original condition and displays authentic signs of operational use, adding to both its provenance and historical value as a genuine piece of modern railway history.
Due to the nature of these items, only a very limited number exist, making this an incredibly rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
All proceeds from this sale directly support Heritage Traction Preservation and are reinvested into the maintenance, restoration, and long-term preservation of our heritage fleet.
