This is a genuine original “Toilet Out of Order” window sign removed from Class 143 Pacer unit 143616, preserved following the unit’s withdrawal from mainline service.

Signs such as this were used operationally across the Class 143 fleet to inform passengers when onboard toilet facilities were unavailable. These notices were a familiar and practical feature of everyday railway operation and would have been displayed in passenger-facing windows or doors during service.

This example comes directly from an operational unit and shows authentic signs of service use, reflecting its working life on the railway and adding to its historical character.

All proceeds from this sale directly support Heritage Traction Preservation (HTP) and are reinvested into the ongoing maintenance, restoration, and long-term preservation of our heritage fleet.
