Preserved status not confirmed. 142068 does not appear in the encyclopaedia article’s list of preserved Class 142 units, and an earlier check against a preservation register did not find it either. It is kept here because two absences are not proof of scrapping, but it should not be relied on without better evidence. Flagged in August 2026.
