What are those liveries on the EMUs (cl.304?).

I've a feeling I've seen the red-stripe one before but not the NSE-type one

The unit in the background is in one of the variants of Greater Manchester PTE livery. The Class 305 (some 305s moved up north when surplus to requirements down south and took over some duties formerly worked by 304s) closer to the camera is in Network South East livery with the red replaced by Provincial light blue to make a sort of Regional Railways-like livery.

 

Memory is failing me as I can't remember whether any 304s got GMPTE livery. Some 305s certainly did (for use on Manchester Airport services) so they may both be 305s.

 

North West 305s were reduced to 3 cars like the 304s.

 

Edit: Some 304s got proper Regional Railways livery  but none got GMPTE so the photo shows 2 305s.
