Special livery wraps on Classes 345 and 378 plus 1996ts trains for 25 years of TfL. (Transport For London)

So that's Elizabeth Line, London Overground and Jubilee line trains.

We're delighted to partner with @TfL
in celebrating their 25th anniversary via special wraps on some vehicles – including trains built by us in Derby!

A bit unnecessary in my opinion, but they did a good job with the livery in my eyes!

I quite like the design, but on the 378 it does look odd from a distance. The standard livery has black around the windows, which gives the illusion from a distance of ribbon glazing. The wrap doesn't. From a distance it looks like a car from a different type of unit has been tacked on! Our apartment looks over the Mildmay line so I see it quite often.

The 345 is 055, meaning one end is the pride end and one end is the TFL 25 end now.
Interesting. One of the ends was blue the last time I saw it (6 October according to my records) but I can't now remember if or how it was branded, so it's good to see it's been wrapped and will be out and about.

I was sure they did this already and the overground train in question had the wrap removed recently after a refurbishment??

Starting to think I've gone mad :D

Three of TfL's operations - Elizabeth, Underground and Overground. As this seems to be an Alstom initiative you wouldn't expect a tram, bus, DLR, cable car or the Woolwich ferry!
It is a TfL initiative- a bus carries a similar livery and I believe the plan included a taxi, cable car and hire bike being wrapped.

I think Alstom is late, surely. This year would be going on to their 26th if anything. Plus several images already, months old of these trains out in the livery at the time.

Vehicle number 96094 of the 1996 stock was seen here in this reddit fourm:

This is a leading motor car, on the northbound end of the train. Only the one car has the special wrap, the rest is normal.

what, they have not even done the whole train?

oh dear.....
I miss the days when 319s carried a full vinyl livery like the rainbow Thameslink programme and lyca mobile.

it's not really worth going out for, if the wrong end is leading you might not even know you travelled on it ...
