and long may NXWM continue to have such a service for the West Midlands.

Quite sad won’t be seeing this anymore after this year. You won’t see anything this big or stylish on a different TOC.

I find it pretty weird when a travel reporter on the radio saying that there’s problems on Transport for Wales. Now thats pretty too generic. I’m sure TfW Rail would be more suited. I’m not keen on the term Railway, especially as it’s use had dwindled over time. It seems old fashioned. The West...

^ Fantastic pictures, although the tram looks hideous. Shouldn’t they be concentrating on rolling out the new final livery instead of adding even more colours and styles to the current network?

I’d choose none for me. Not keen on buses/trains/trams being named, and I doubt most people who travel on these notice or even care.

Just seen a 170 at Walsall with the diamond logo on the side of the drivers cab been put on the wrong way. It’s sideways.

Not a bad livery to be fair, although not exactly inspiring, though. Looks better than the ATW colours.

Best: Virgin (Pendolino) & GWR Worst: Northern

I think that looks amazing. Just from that angle makes the train looks so much more modern. I hope the Virgin decal will be gloss rather than matt. Less if definitely more and the black grey and white combo looks so sleek.

I think its the angle + lighting, the stickers have a matte finish next to the glossy paint.

Looks like a skip placed on bogies. I think those look hideous. I agree, but can’t be good for a company to have to rely on it’s predecessors design to make their own look better. BTW, I have noticed that all WM Trains services at stations listed on Apple Maps (including those outside of the...

That is so much nicer! Less is certainly more with this scheme.

How come the West Midlands franchise had to be seperated branding wise as WMR and London Northwestern? Isn’t East Midlands branded the same name for both their city and long distance London services?

I’ve seen quite a few platinum buses on the 255 recently, plus crimson ones. Have all the old ones been withdrawn? Plus the 1 also now seem to be crimson. Are they different buses or just repainted?

^^ Amazing list! It’s starting to look alot more WMR out there finally... Have they decided on a final look for the stations yet? Can’t wait to see more stock in the full final livery too. Will the prototype livery be redone or will that remain as a special one off?

GWR, Virgin WC (old and new), London Midland, West Midlands Railway (latest), TPE.

Have to say, it should be sickly, but it looks kinda good... Can’t help thinking if either the doors were silver or it had more silver it would have looked even better. Now I’m thinking the trams should have been orange and blue or purple and blue. The shade of orange looks strikingly nice...

I agree, having variation is nice, and rememeber West Midlands branding has been seen over by the West Midlands Authority. A bad design will always be that of the designer and company not because of it being privatised etc. I’d rather have a few bad and a few good designs than one bland...

I’m quite impressed by the temporary livery effort. All they had to do is put white over the black band underneath the windows then it would be a totally different livery! Because that’s basically the only design elements that hasn’t changed. Can’t wait to see the new full livery now, but I’m...
