Chris Gilbert1 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Could anyone tell me when BR started painting their GUVs and Full Brakes in the red parcels/Royal Mail scheme. I’ve got it in my mind it was in the late 80s but I can’t seem to find any photos. TIA Edited January 23 by Chris Gilbert1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I have a TPO repaint in October 1987 https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/brtpo/eca8dc4d but my BG and GUV repaints date from 1990 [which doesn't mean non were repainted in late 87]. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bécasse Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 One of the Southern Region MLVs (9004) was repainted into Royal Mail colours in November 1988 and a second followed very briefly in February 1989. Following a robbery in early March 1989 both were quickly repainted into NSE colours so that it wasn't obvious that they were carrying mail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
