This is a genuine original Welsh-language “Emergency Exit” sign removed from Class 143 Pacer unit 143616, preserved following the unit’s withdrawal from mainline service.

Bilingual safety signage was a standard requirement on trains operating in Wales, ensuring clear emergency instructions were accessible to all passengers. Signs such as this were a permanent and essential part of the unit’s interior safety equipment and would have been clearly visible within the passenger saloon throughout the unit’s working life.

This example comes directly from an operational Class 143 unit and remains in original condition, showing authentic signs of service use consistent with its role in everyday railway operation.
