RMweb Gold TravisM Posted November 9, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2019 I had a visit from a friend of mine last night and we were talking about the S&D, and I said that during BR’s ownership, the coaching stock liveries would have probably been mostly green as well as “blood & custard” (1950’s) and maroon into the 60’s. The question came up if any corporate blue & grey ever appeared towards the end? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I have many videos of the S&D and haven't yet seen a Blue/Grey coach. This is probably because the line was closed in March 1966, but the livery wasn't introduced until later that year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that, I thought that the new corporate livery, apart from the XP64 set, was introduced from mid 65 and so my thinking was the odd blue and grey coach might have appeared.
