Nice shots Rich =D

Good pictures. I see 222017 is out of Derby now after the stuff about the percentage of yellow and all that.

The first one is the best. It's nice to see it so close up and clear. Although, I still prefer the MML livery.

Ermm, explain? It has more yellow than the MML livery...

 

[richa2002]

Thanks . I agree about the first one being the best really. I unfortunately couldn't get onto the platform with 222017 on because it was due to leave on a service quite soon and I had no ticket for it!

 

[Gizmogle]

Yes, well, MML/EMT (I don't wanna call them EMT ) don't actually let you onto platforms when trains are arriving or departing even if you do have a ticket.

 

[richa2002]

Yeah, is fair enough.

 

[Gizmogle]

Most don't bother though. I can understand when a train arrives and everyone has to exit via a small gateway.
But departing?
If you're running at the train, then they should stop you from endangering yourself.
But if you're calmly walking over for a phot of the train leaving, I don't see the problem.

 

[richa2002]

Yeah, would have most probably let me on if I'd asked but couldn't be bothered hehe.

 

[Gizmogle]

I've asked before and they've said no.

Just asked if I could get the number/take a photo and they never let me. It's happened a few times now.

You're taking up space but not getting on the train, and could stop people who want to get on, get on.

It seems silly. Probably equality for all or some other bollocks.
