There is a picture of a DVT in the new livery doing the rounds on social media taken from round the back of Wabtec.

Is there any update on when 91127 will appear again?

I stand corrected!

Indeed, they've not been repainted since East Coast, so for most locos 10+ years ago
I don’t suppose you have any links or Twitter handles?
Many thanks in advance

Same for the mk 4's. I still look at that double purple stripe and think "isn't that four companies ago by now !"
For 91127 and set keep eyes open July 1st or just before

I thought I was dreaming it but have found the reference - the most recent 225 Group magazine mentioned that there would be tweaks to the celebrity locomotives so that they better match the new look for the Mk4s. So maybe some minor changes?

It looks exactly like the old intercity livery

Absolutely horrendous. Laughable.
It must be a maintenance necessity by now then !
I'm inclined to agree. This is harking back to a time which certainly wasn't the golden age of rail. I'm hoping this is a one off, but reading back up the thread I think they are all getting this treatment? Next they'll be bringing back Travellers Fayre sandwiches as well.
Some people have no taste !
I hope they all get the treatment. Better than these dreadful, grey, covered in dirt liveries that seem to have been in fashion for the last fifteen years.

One way or other, it can’t be worse than what they’re in at the moment.
Personally I always thought GNER livery suited them best (especially with the cast-iron adornments).
It’s certainly going to be an odd experience seeing them come past. For a few moments it will feel like the clock has turned back 30 years.
Laughable is making such a strident judgement based on seeing it from such an odd angle
There's definitely a resemblance, but it's not at all exact: https://twitter.com/LocoSpottingNW/status/1512551750443667462
Yes GNER was the one I experienced them in in my younger days traveling the ECML. Good dark livery, bold red stripe - could have been another candidate for revitalising them - might be commercial issues though !
Fundamentally I'm glad:
1) They'll still be with us for a while
2) They're finally getting a proper repaint !

No need to jump to conclusions and assume that’s what it’s based on. That’s not the only picture I’ve seen of it.Laughable is making such a strident judgement based on seeing it from such an odd angle

Should paint the 91s in large logo and the stock in blue and grey. None of this new-fangled InterCity malarkey.

Just what we'd need to throw this forum into disarray with opinions

Yes I too am glad they’re still around. From a passenger perspective I find then considerably superior to a IET. There’s a certain pleasing reassuring feeling seeing one come past when I’m out walking the dogs, too!

It doesn't happen at Kings Cross yet.

It might just be LNER managed stations, at least for now.

What is it that you dislike about it, @TT-ONR-NRN ?
Personally I think it looks splendid. It goes to show how subjective subjects like these are. There is no wrong answer!

Anyway.. I would assume that if the media has been shown the complete set, we should see it leaving Doncaster at some point this week.
There are paths on the 17-06 for;
0Z60 0918 Doncaster West Yard to Neville Hill T&R.S.M.D
0Z61 1735 Neville Hill T&R.S.M.D to Doncaster West Yard
but I assume these are just 67s.

Nothing to do with that, 67 is of to Neville Hill for coupling training.

Thanks 800001, I suspected so but I couldn't see any other paths leaving Doncaster Works.
There’s some higher quality pics of the new livery from a couple of months ago here too

LNER Mk4 livery.
I don't normally pay much attention to liveries, but today at Leeds saw an lner class 91+mk4 with red area that looked like it had been applied by some chap with a rattle can. Is that really the best they can do?
