390029 New Advertising Livery

[Gizmogle]

390029 arrived in London Euston today in a brand new advertising livery for the Manchester Internation Festival with pictures from the opera "Monkey: journey to the West". There were many professional photographers and a few enthusiasts there getting pictures of the train on its arrival before it left for the 1005 service to Manchester Piccadilly, where it was greeted by people from the Manchester International Festival handing out flyers to passengers.

Plenty of pictures on my Fotopic

Some nice pics there, Giz.

Nice pictures there, that's a rather groovy livery

Thankyou you can't really see the full extent of how amazingly cool it is from my pictures. It's much better seeing it properly.

I was caught of guard with it. I just went to phot the sleeper with my phone and there it was

 

[CraigS]

I didn't get Pendo 29 in its Superman advertisment livery so I better catch it in this livery.

 

[RJ]

I'll try and get the diagrams posted on the RUK gen list this week

 

[The Snap]

Nice pics.

That would be nice, Joe. I wouldn't mind photting that somewhere this week...

Think that cr*p should ve scrubbed off.

Shame on you sir

Besides, it's a Pendo! Does it matter?

Joke livery for a joke train with a joke company....
In short...a joke!!!

 

[Coxster]

Think that cr*p should ve scrubbed off.

Wouldn't it be easier to just peel it off?

Oh dear, Damon's trying to be funny again!

Here's some shots of Pendolino 390029 decked out in the new 'Monkey' vinyls as it flys through the countryside near Cow Roast

[Dennis]

having seen Snapper's pics, it's reinforced my opinion that it should be removed (scrubbed, peeled, burn't or overpainted; I ain't bothered) - it looks awful. Legalised graffiti.

There are some more at http://www.mark5812.fotopic.net/c1290774.html

 

[Snapper]

Catch it while you can. The vinyls will be removed on the August Bank Holiday...

 

[First ScotRail]

I quite like it, its different

 

[Donny Dave]

What a rancid livery. It looks worse than some of the graffiti you see around....

 

[Dennis]

My thoughts exactly. I suppose VXC are being paid to display this; a little bit of the recent massive investment of the route being recouped.

 

[Gizmogle]

I think it looks good. It makes people look. People that would normally just walk straight past are stopping to take pictures with their phones.

And besides, if you don't like it, then it's gonna be removed soon anyway

 

[Ascot]

Seen it at Willesden on Tuesday morning (think it was that anyway)

VXC must be quite happy with themselves then Not that I'm deliberately reading your posts in detail or anything...

 

[Dennis]

Blimey; no excuse for that error, V & W aren't even close on the keyboard:tool:

 

[The Snap]

HA, just realised that 029 is the model I made for BVE. Suppose I best reskin it! (NOT!)

 

[Mintona]

It may not look brilliant, but at least it's a bit different - coz apart from the names and numbers, there's really absolutely no difference between the Pendolinos, so....

Another piccy here

I recon it will promote more graffitti
TO qoute Don Burgess (Ta for the above pic)

Newly vinyl covered 390029 made it on to a Glasgow turn today. Seen departing Oxenholme for the north this morning, the ridiculous graffiti style effect will only encourage the spray can wielding hoards.

 

[Gavelex]

Got a video of it today at South Kenton footbridge, will upload ASAP.

The Monkey has escaped!

390 029 is now being hauled by an UID 57 towards the S&C, some 65 late, on the 09:03 Euston to Glasgow Central via the S&C.

I was so distracted by the Pendo's livery, that I forgot to see which 57 was hauling it!

Kind Regards

Nice pic mate.

 

[mbonwick]

Not mine though, as I said before, taken by Don Burgess

IMHO, all his photos are of high quality and around my local area
As a result I visit his site every day and download new pictures - they frequently star as my desktop background!
