RMweb Gold russ p Posted February 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2017 That livery is horrendous. Does absolutely nothing for the lines of the loco. How come in this country we have to change liveries every few years whereas most other countries in the world liveries last for years often for the full life of a traction unit. There was an article a while back in a magazine about the bloke who designed this livery, nothing he said made sense either just out to fill his pockets by preaching rubbish to the TOCs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomag Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 That livery is horrendous. Does absolutely nothing for the lines of the loco. How come in this country we have to change liveries every few years .... Changing the livery supposedly indicates that the company has adopted a new startagy/policy/blame avoidance process which shows that they have nothing to do with the previous lot's inability to run anything propoerly. Everbybody else takes it as being the first step in not acheiving a properly running railway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidMcKenzie Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 A few assorted sparkies and conditions. Firstly sorry for the previous post. I clicked one too many times . Does anyone know the story behind the two different intercity liveries on the class 90s in this post? The first picture has a much darker cab colouring and bigger yellow area when compared to the livery in the third photo which is the one I have noticed the most and has a lot more white around the front end.

Dave My understanding is the version with more white and Intercity wording and swallow are the intercity passenger sector allocated engines. The mainline livery (more bland intercity livery) was applied to 'mixed traffic' machines and we're most often seen on freight. If you think about the liveries worn by the AC electrics, I'm not aware of any that received large logo railfreight grey, intercity was used following rail blue then triple grey for the RfD machines.
