no, was at the depot in Burton - virgin sets aren't maintaind there IIRC

Yes they are, bombardier maintain all the voyagers there and occasionally maridians too. Virgin are to take 5 more super-voyagers from xc when xc get all there HST's so i doubt if they will be vinlyed.

The Virgin destined voyagers all retain debranded Virgin livery with no XC branding so all that needs to take place is reapplication of the Virgin branding and reinstatement of the nameplates...

Not really, at least they have done the decent thing and not repainted them.

Because richard branson dose not want xc to use his branding that is why all xc staff got a temporary uniform because they cant use virgins. If xc use anything with virgin on they will be charged for using it by virgin.

Are NXEC getting a shift on with their stock? Or adopting the gold old national express attitude of "we can't be arsed"?

Also, all the 319/4s bar 430 are in FCC livery. Currently 4 319/3s are in FCC, 2 of which have the old interiors.

The HST powercars are being done either at Brush (proper 2 pack paintjob) or as part of major exams at EC (vinyl). 43208 is the latest vinyl job from EC. 43311? is the latest release from Brush.

I was referring to the fact that only one 91 is in colour, and no mk4s. Any ideas if they will be done by the end of the franchise?

170630 and 170631 seem to have had a more comprehensive refresh than previous members of the LM 170 fleet - all vestiges of Central have been replaced - including the above window seat indicators which are now LM green, the wall fabric coverings which are dark green and so on.

Very nice indeed I think.

I'm starting to be in two minds about XC refurbed 170s. They've got the air-con sorted (apart from 170636 - was like a freezer!) and the upholstery is nice - but the seats are again crammed in so there is booger all legroom

exactly, they could have not had 1st class. It's gimicky first class on 170s where you only get a feature such as a table which isn't broken, a light on the table or an anti-macassre. Bit like London Midland and FCC first class!
