158780 is now out of service temporarily after vandalism, its cab window was smashed on a Crewe-Derby train today, so it was rescued by 153374 and taken back to Eastcroft (ta Brandon for finding out info; ta to me for seeing the unit dragging it afterwards 
)

156403 has had its (fairly) new livery attacked with graffiti in the past couple of days. The fact that they didn't finish their work has made it look even worse - someone obviously chased them before they had time to complete it. Seen at Burton Joyce station tonight.
43083 in EMT livery!! I don't know why, but they must have started!!

43083 went in for VP185 conversion so they thought they may as well repaint it at the same time.

added. EMT did say that when class 43s were going in for VPs they would be done. There were also possible stories that the mk3s might be done too, but why I don't know seeing as they were refurbed around 2005 by Midland Mainline. Whatever they do, I hope they don't go down FGW's road and replace the BR seats with commuter style seats.

maybe, can't remember, but i know they are fairly new, their interior decor is decent
Is decent but not of EMT colours. They will be replaced, how and when I just don't know...

back to the days of strange mixed sets! Yes, back a few years ago when you often saw Virgin Trains, MML teal and MML blue/grey in one train!
Project Rio at full swing...

Which included Yellow and GW Green power cars - did any GNER ones ever get involved to complete the set?

yes think they hired a Serco class 43 once 
I thought it was only MML (both versions) and Virgin? I remember seeing a photo of the old Great Western livery on the MML too.

Definitely had both of those out - I had a GW one into Picc, and flagged a yellow one. That latter choice may have proved to be a mistake!!
Do you mean NR Yellow?

I Used Project Rio for about 12 return Journeys and only ever saw virgin branded virgin unbranded and both MML Liverys on the trains.
Actually i'd say atleast 10 of the single journeys had a Virgin PC Leading.

Yes sorry thought that was obvious but hadn't actually mentioned it. Think it was 014 but couldn't be sure.

Yes at one point a 3 car 170 was used to cover for a HST sets (I expect faliure of a power car or something). Used to be fun seeing those mixed livery sets come in. Not only did the new livery not last that long but the refurbished blue/yellow spots standard class seats and brown/cream first on these Rio sets. Got scattered all over the place after Rio.

Quiet you.
Hmm, the afternoons move was:
156405 Leicester-Nuneaton (0920 Stansted-Liverpool)
87018 Nuneaton-Stafford (1210 Euston-Liverpool, 20L)
86247 Stafford-Nuneaton (1332 Liverpool-Euston)
87005 Nuneaton-Stafford (1410 Euston-Liverpool)
87022 Stafford-M.Keynes (1527 Manchester-Euston)
87012 M.Keynes-Stafford (1700 Euston-Liverpool)
87023 Stafford-M.Keynes (1753 Manchester-Euston)
321433 M.Keynes-L.Buzz (1836 Birmingham-Euston)
Think I made the right leap, bar the can thats better than any HST 7 days a week!

had a sneak preview in 'journeys' magazine of the decor in the refurbished class 158s. Unfortunately, they have gone down the road I hope they wouldn't have. The seats look awfully hard and plasticky, and the upholstery I'm in two minds about (it's red with randomly placed orange and blue dots down the centre bit). So I really hope DeltaRail don't do the mk3 refurb programme and rip out the BR seats...
