WMTrains livery and station branding

[E_Reeves]

London midland would’ve needed to do the same as well. As west coast services and west Mida franchise has been spilt. It was planned at the time of bidding.

But at least both 323s and 350s would have the same branding with LM

As the franchise is spilt. Maybe London midland would’ve decided to change the names. Keep London midland for west coast. Different for West Midlands. This will be fixed in a few years time. Different liveries.

Come December we could have 172/0s running around on WMR jobs in London Overground livery with no loos thanks to the cock up with introducing 710s on GOBLIN.

I agree. I hope they do put on the livery when it comes to service.

Watched a video online recently and noticed that the London North Western Railway livery is less colourful than the West Midlands Trains livery in that it was mostly white between the cabs of the train. Nice to see the new colours coming to Liverpool at least. Did anybody ever actually know this was going to happen before the livery got rolled out? Was it always part of the plan?

That the franchise would be split between the services operating withing the West Midlands area (geographical not political area) and those based on the WCML was known from the franchise renewal process. How the split will work is still not entirely clear as some LNW trains operate local service in the West Midlands before going on to Liverpool.

350377 the latest in the new livery. Only 370/71/72/76 now of the 3s in lm colours and presumably one of those is now in for relivery.

Got a glance of a 350 in LNWR livery while on the M1 yesterday and so a chance to update my judgement.

I still think it and the WMR livery are both absolutely pants.

That the franchise would be split between the services operating withing the West Midlands area (geographical not political area) and those based on the WCML was known from the franchise renewal process. How the split will work is still not entirely clear as some LNW trains operate local service in the West Midlands before going on to Liverpool.

Had no idea there was a planned split, but I would assume that both liveries would be set to the franchise rather than the operator. My only wonder is whether the split will occur when the franchise runs out and has a split, or if it will happen mid-point. It's not unknown for that to happen. CrossCountry underwent review when Virgin lost it and cut the original franchise short by five years, but I would hope for the sake of things being in order that any split would occur when the current one runs out. I've heard West Coast Partnership might split the WCML and HS2 operations once that franchise is over, but that is still many years away so we cannot make any of those judgments just yet.

Can add 170502 in outgoing livery. Seen today.

350244 is the next /2 heading for rebrand later tonight.

Solihull is a Chiltern station, I am 99% sure it doesn't have LM green/black lampposts (black and blue according to google images), I notice Dorridge is omitted so assume mistake.

Does anyone know if the old style stations are going to be tangoed or keep their old traditional colours?

I've no idea about the "traditional" stations; but I was certainly unaware of Solihull now being under Chiltern control. Last I saw of it, it had NetworkWM signage, and black/green lampposts.

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

It’s been under Chiltern Railways control for a while now.

I must say the branding list is a good idea of yours 59CosG95. When I created the thread I never thought of including that!

 

[DavidGrain]

According to Wikipedia both Solihull and Dorridge are Chiltern stations

 

[Spirit555]

Can also now add 170509 as being tangoed. On Birmingham to Shrewsbury services today

350370 heading in for rebrand later this evening. 372 should be the one released as 371 and 376 both out today as the sole LM liveries /3s.

Where is this Kings Heath? The only Kings Heath I know of is the one in Birmingham on the Camp Hill line which still hasn't had any stations rebuilt, I see it mentioned a lot but never know!

It's the Siemens Depot just north of Northampton where all the 350s are based.

350373: Full (revised) LNWR livery, with 1st Class Stripe

To be slightly pedantic should this be 'full prototype LNWR livery'?

The revised one was applied to all following 350/3s after 373, and has narrower diaganol green stripes, slightly less green at the ends of each coach than 373 has, and is more symmetrical, with the stripes being in roughly the same place on each coach. Whereas /373 has diaganol lines in slightly different places on some coaches to others.
373 also has the original LNR logos on in the Helevectica font, the rest have the revised LNR logo in the new slimmer font with the straight ended y in railway .

The following 350/3s were done in metallic vinyl with 373 still being in the original Matt vinyl.

Just a note on Wilnecote - it’s currentky in some kind of hybrid/half finished WMR/LM colour scheme...
