Barcode livery.

Thanks for sharing. Some lovely shots. Thankfully no snowstorm this year! I'll be popping along for a bash on Saturday.

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/222-contract-for-scotrail-announced.299990/ So Scotland has to make do with more English cast-offs. But it does sound like they will be better than new when they enter service.
