Slight changes you would make to liveries to make them nicer

Yes or no?

I like that. I wonder if you could tweak it a bit further to show us what it would look like in the traditional GWR Deep Bronze Green...?

 

[Silverlink]

Thameslink could have added a pink forward Slash “/“ atleast on each of the carriages to give the trains some colour. They just all look so dirty now.

A few of the GWR turbos have been running round unfinished in plain doom green without the stripes and stickers. I personally thought they looked smarter than the fully branded turbos.

Makes it look really old fashioned.

I've always preferred full yellow ends - but WOAH!

The whole re-branding exercise was meant to evoke the 'golden age' of rail travel, rather like the GNER brand in the late 1990's.

 

[DasLunatic]

A slightly altered West Midlands 172. Swapped the yellow and the purple.

Now I've seen it, the WMR livery looks a little bit similar to the XC 170 livery with the boundary between colours at the front end.

Get rid of the Spots in the SpotRail livery. The units which are to go back south are in a plain blue, which actually looks much cleaner.

 

[Halish Railway]

What about the Northern Class 333's and Class 321's (Pre-Full blue livery) would look like without the red base, but instead the standard blue.

 

[Melancholia]

The 333 certainly looks better with no red!

 

[BurtonM]

That's like removing the purple from the old Northern livery, which would also be a good call!

 

[xc170]

Been a while since I've done anything like this in Photoshop so it's a little bit rough around the edges, but, how about fitting the Class 483's with modern headlights

I made this:

Sorry...! :P

 

[MG11]

I'd teak the front of EMT's Class 43 powercars, so that the yellow ran to the bottom of the vallance and the blue covered the first bulb of the lights, the same format as GWR (GREEN) HSTs effectively, just different colours. This would give a more modern appearance.

I really like that actually.

It's funny how that doesn't look "wrong" because that was their original design. Their current style has been very smartly done though. A thrown-in-there-to-make-it-compliant panel almost always looks worse than one where they've designed the front pattern around it, or where there's a clear "place" for it (see: the 700s; the 707s look weird with it going up around the windows as well).

Very good indeed!

That’s a really nice livery there!

 

[Prestige15]

This is more than just a slight.

An oyster card livery 158!

This is more than just a slight.

Clever interpretation of the new Arriva corporate livery.

I'm actually quite intrigued to see how the new livery looks on the 333s. I just can't quite see it myself! But given I think they are the last to get refurbed due to them already meeting PRM etc. I suppose we might be waiting a couple of years to see one!

Unless (given the current approach of Arriva to refurbing and repainting stock) they do the internal and external separately in which case we might get one sooner?

Now how about a full yellow front...

(Almost) Mainline compliant DLR

Very nice.

I'm sure I remember someone doing the DLR in the TfL livery with DLR accent colour and it looked very nice. Heck, most variants on the TfL livery with accent colour look very nice.

Did I say very nice enough yet?

 

[Bletchleyite]

I really like the TfL livery family, the Crossrail livery looks awful by comparison, somebody had to wreck it by doing something different.
