GWR Livery Update

As previously reported, GWR are gradually repainting their fleet. Rather than being in "Dynamic Lines" (with the colourful swirls) or "Local Lines" (with place-names of stations on their network) livery, they're going into a two-tone green guise. 

This is most certainly a hint of nostalgia for how GWR used to be before privatisation. This is as part of First Group's, whom run the Great Western franchise, plan to create the new brand identity. 

Rather than summarising all the different units again in the livery, I'm just going to reproduce these images so you can see for yourself..... 

As you can see, even the 153s are getting a facelift! I take the opportunity now to thank J.Greener for the photos. 

Here you can compare the old blue livery to the shiny new guise. Also note the affirm of the logo to the doorway.....

But of course, it isn't all green galore. Here is their variation of their heritage Intercity Swallow colours (below) and a rather colourful 158 (above) in promotional livery.....

150002 peering around the corner. This is one of two class 150/0s on their network (001/002). Originally, both of these were prototype units.

What's also to note is that 143620 is the first pacer to go into the GWR green colours. For more information on GWR, including the latest news and a fleet summary, click here.
