GN using southerns green livery, thameslink using GN's blue livery, what next? are we gonna come full circle and have southern put with pink doors?
It does seem odd that with southern being so bad in the public eye they'd still use their livery on GN.
I have no idea what is going on in that picture. Compare it to this one where the logo is much higher:

so they've clearly messed up and done it differently/shoddy for each train. Poor thameslink, can't even...
A 3 year full refurbishment that cost in the millions and now they're getting rid of half of them? And to be replaced by the much less superior 387 which are still in southerns spec... What an absolute joke, Govia and the DfT really are an embarrasment
I thought the plan was for GN to keep all 365's anyway now since GWR weren't having them? They really should keep them
As for people constantly moaning about 387's... they're basically brand new trains with AC, power sockets, and airline seats that aren't so low to the ground that you can't...
He's talking about the ones going from thameslink to great northern. I have no idea why this thread has been overtaken by GWR 387's when it was initially about the thameslink ones, only reason I subscribe to this thread!
But I, too am wondering what GN are going to do with the interiors when...
I thought it was here but now I'm thinking it might've been on reddit or something like that. Just all the searches now only come up with his death, unfortunately. :(
Edit: jcollins, I think it must've been on there! When did that site close? I remember reading it only a few years ago, maybe...
I remember him doing a Q&A on here a few years ago about voicing etc, does anyone know where it is? I did a quick search but can't seem to find it.
:( RIP Phil, always will be the best voice on the railways.
Wellp, sorry guys. Oh the shame. In my defence though I hadn't even mentioned 313's to them, I was saying how crowded the 321's get so as we were talking about class numbers I assumed 150 was the train, lmao. No idea why he replied telling me about 313's though.
That said if I somehow see a...
Hello,
So I had emailed GTR with some, ahem, 'suggestions' (not complaints! :lol: ) about overcrowding on the gn route and this is the reply I got back, cropped to the most relevant part.
I've got to say, I'm pretty surprised to see this. Whatever happened to 313's being replaced by a...
Well, that's what I meant. The outside on most 317's looks disgusting and tatty at the mo, so re livering them to be consistent with the whole gn branding is good enough to call done up for me
ooh, very exciting to see them being done up, although aren't they leaving next year anyway along with the 321's? i remember reading somewhere that 377's were replacing all of them from 2016 :?
"Anti-disabled"? :roll: how is anything he said anti-disabled? jesus, some people should just be wrapped in cotton wool
EDIT: I really don't understand, the last thing physics34 said before you suddenly jumped out calling him ignorant and "anti-disabled" was this:
As I said, he's not exactly...
^ I agree with all of this! Whilst it's a good idea, it looks horrendous. Prepare for the onslaught and "disgust" from the ones whining about others having a differing opinion.
Why? :shock: give the guy a break, he was only saying what he thought would look good on the train not asking all people with visual impairments to be culled
Personally, I think too much can be too much as well. AGA have it right on their intercity trains, the bold yellow stripe is visible...
can someone please explain why the doors on the 387 stock are green? All the hype about new trains, and govia basically give us more southern trains.
I just miss when thameslink had its own identity. They could've at least made an effort...
Actually, I like the fact there's more airline style seats and less table seats. In a press release by fcc some time ago about the 700s they said that most people disliked the 2+2 seating in, for example, 317s. Mainly I just hate the awkwardness of having to avoid eye contact with someone...
