They are/were schdeduled to go in 2023 once the new trains were being delivered and some mods to Azumas had been completed, I guess a further life extension might see them stay even longer. If they stay around long enough to need ETCS fitting? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full set in the new livery was sitting outside Neville Hill depot yesterday and today. Yesterday evening I thought the set was in original IC livery, only in full daylight this morning is the purple colour obvious. It does look very smart.

Nimbus Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Way upthread I expressed the hope that the 91s would stick around long enough to be re-liveried out of the calculated tweeness of the fizzy drink design. Have to say they could hardly have done it better, it looks so much more mature! Just have to phot it before it gets covered in flies. I'd hoped the 225Group Twitter feed might have daily updates on which diagram it's on. The Nim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive martin Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Superb new livery ,almost a natural update of BR swallow livery British Rail in its post rail blue era seemed to put a lot of thought into train design and livery s,i remember a certain mr Branson talking about GNER running trains in the old BR livery like it was something negative ,Intercity swallow livery has stood the test of time very well GNER livery with a red stripe was also very smart,ruined by the National Express cheap looking white stripe rebrand,Virgins swirly livery now looks worn out and scruffy ,its great to see these clasdic trains being turned out in a proper livery. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
