175110 livery

[Philip]

Just wondered whether people think the livery used on this unit and 175008 looked better than the current Arriva livery used for 175's?

How long is it since that livery disappeared? I remember seeing it a lot on Manchester - South Wales services a few years back..

That one by chance ? I prefered it too tbf, However the WAG Livery on 158840 Looks great, hope the 175 get outfitted with it.

I wasn't keen on the 'ghostly' livery. But then, a deep turquoise is one of my favourite colours!

'110 and '008 were repainted into Arriva standard at the same time as the rest lost their First colours.

The "Ghost" livery as it was known was nice at first, well kept it made the fleet look half decent but in 2009 when the livery started going it was looking a shambles, the whole 175 fleet were, along with the 158 fleet now!.... lets hope a few more 158's get done in that livery!

It's not bad, very uninspiring though, much like the rest of the ATW fleet in my opinion.

Painting the front end of a train in white.... Uh-oh!! Brings back memories of First's attempt with their white HST power cars, just plain stoopid!
