has there been any update on which loco this name plate will be put on ?

Couldnt have put it any better myself. I've been stood at Peterborough spotting this afternoon and there are HST's filled up as regular as 1 an hour going north and more going south. This is the only disadvantage of running a lot of electric powercars, diesels are in overtime. But what i would...

Today it was released in the york paper ' the press' that another east coast loco is being named 'city of york'. Does anyone have an idea which one it will go on ? 91 or hst ?

as good as it sounds, i somehow fail to believe it :)

I recently read that East Coast are naming another one of its power cars with a name related to York. Does anyone know or have heard what number they are placing the name plate on ?

Definitely got the name plates on, came roaring through Peterborough last night. 'Valenta 1972 - 2010'

yes, due to cost. Grey is apparently cheaper than silver !!

Yes, it has been attached to 43208. i have a photo of what i saw, but only the first power car which was 43312, 43208 was on the back. here is a link ive just found http://www.flickr.com/photos/intercitygbrailsphotos/5696513082/

I was in Newark this morning, and spotted 43312 and 43208. I noticed a name plate was fitted to 43208. It ended in 'echo' the plate looked shiny as if it was recently fitted, but i cant find anywhere stating or reporting that it has been named. Has any one else heard or seen this ? Thanks
