The 142s (bus seats and Merseyrail abomnations) were a real step down in comfort compared to the 101s. They were also a darn sight colder in winter too!
That said though, the 142s look antiquated and have done for a while, the 101s looked very much a fragment of the past by the time they went, similar to the wonderful IC125s - an amazing piece of kit from a bygone age.
