Have notice a couple of class 142s running without their roof mounted pods; 142072 and 142075 so far unless others have had them removed. Looks strange without them Not sure what the reason is for their removal unless someone else here can clarify.

Also a few 142s now adorned with vinyls as per class 143s.

I bet they look really weird. Did you take any pictures?

142075 has been without them for quite a few years now.

So was this a mod or were they unnecessary?

I'm not sure, hopefully someone can clear it up. Here is an image though. https://flic.kr/p/U5CwHB
