sorry this question may have already been answered but whats happening to FSR class 343 (? the electric 175) have they been repainted yet?

 

[class 313]

Class 343?

 

[Edvid]

It's a typo. 175fan meant Class 334.

No, not yet. If they are, it'll be reported in my "First ScotRail repaint countdown" thread.

I don't see how 334s are the electric versions of 175s? That means 458s are also electric versions of 175s... When 334s are just AC and 3 car versions of 458s...

Same family of units; 175s and 334s are both Coradias. They look rather similar from the front, but I'd say the differences outweigh the similarities. In fact, all of the Coradia family have only a slight similarity to each other, unlike the pacer and sprinter families which look much more similar than the Coradias.

But they are Coradia Junipers, as well as 458s and 460s. Whereas 175s are not Junipers so not in the direct same family. The 175 is a cousin if you will

Apparently the...er...lucky 319s to be outshopped in the Thameslink Programme livery will be 364 and 365. The former is due for release on Monday.

seriously wait till you see it, see how many drivers will have faces like this

isn't 319010 still a sn unit.

 

[thelem]

I'm waiting to see 364 and 365 running *together* :P

 

[Edvid]

Well, it can't be worse than the putrid advertising livery that Connex did a while ago...can it?

And yes, NSR still have the head lease on 010.

 

[westcoaster]

ummm yes seen a picture of it today, three words pink/ stripey and to the point

 

[Edvid]

That's six words, five if 'and' is excluded. Is the unit back in Bedford?

 

[westcoaster]

not sure im afraid saw the pic on net (not available to public) this site normally covers all movements around wolverton and the works. http://andrew-chambers.fotopic.net/

 

[Edvid]

As it happens the site's creator is a member of UKmodernEMU so I'll ask him.

It was also announced on today's webchat (see question 75) that the 'rainbow' 319/3s will be named Transforming Farringdon and Transforming Blackfriars, though they didn't say which name will be revealed first.

More info courtesy of Andrew Chambers:

364 left Wolverton this morning...only to be driven back there from Bletchley.

Apparently it's been nicknamed 'Pinky' and is the Transforming Blackfriars unit; 365 is therefore the Transforming Farringdon unit and has been ncknamed 'Perky'.

Here are pics 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 from earlier this morning.

That has to be the worst livery I have ever seen. Makes me feel sick!
