    did southwest trains used to do a Sunday service to Penzance, I vaguely remember seeing them Sunday afternoons one departure. I’m not sure if it was from London Waterloo or started at Exeter

    WMTrains livery and station branding

    Would love the return of the 153s when the 139s go for refurb. I think WMR need to get a longer shuttle as the little one gets packed roo easy at peaks

    Electostars vs desiros

    Having only sampled the class 350 in Birmingham (there’s no electrostars here) I like the desiro’s acceleration noise but it has nothing on a 323!

    Will some of the 350s get repainted into West Midlands railway livery as they will be used on the chase line once electrified

    WMTrains livery and station branding

    It’s certainly eye catching livery and in the flesh it stands out. I don’t think the purple on the front suits it but I feel the metallic purple should become a Matt purple
