That scheme really is stunning! Love the way the white appears at the back of the power car!

a nice change, I wonder what it will look like weather worn

 

[Mintona]

Bloomin lovely, bit o' luck I will be out to phot tomorrow

 

[Gizmogle]

It's really nice, but I refuse to admit it I loved MML.

Does anyone know what it's working tomorrow?

 

[me123]

It's nice, but I'm worried about the white. Until I see it properly with a rake of Mk. IIIs, I'm reserving judgement.

Does anyone know what it's working tomorrow?

The railway centre claims that it will work the 0726 Leeds-St Pancras, and presumably, will follow the standard diagram from this service.

Looks like the sort of colours you'd see on a toy train!

Great paint job though and excellent name! Should look smart formed into a full set, I still don't like it though

For those not able to attend the event today ‘Terry Miller MBE’ will enter service on Friday 2nd May and will operate the 07.26 service from Leeds to St. Pancras International calling at Sheffield (08.27), Chesterfield (08.40), Derby (09.01) and Leicester ( 09.28 ).

the two livey versions reminds me of the time when the back off the 43 was in intercity swallow and the front in black and yellow.http://neilharvey4789.fotopic.net/p41727291.html
like the front not sure about the rear.

What's the diagram for the 0726?

From thejunction.org.uk

1C17 0726 Leeds-St Pancras

1F22 1125 St Pancras-Sheffield

1C41 1427 Sheffield-St Pancras

1F48 1730 St Pancras-Sheffield

I presume this is still accurate.

I thought the new scheme wouldn't work on the 43......Guess i've been proved wrong because it looks fantastic!

Starting to miss the old MML scheme already....

[richa2002]

Am really looking forward to photographing this tomorrow morning, should look lovely!

 

[Mintona]

I can't go out for it, Mother won't let me...
Maybe next week at some point.

I would imagine the MK IIIs are a very similar paint job to the Pig coaches

Looks nice tho!

 

[adamp]

Anyone get pictures at leeds then?

 

[Julian G]

the HST is running very late at the moment,

Last Reported @ Bedford -10:57 [it seemed to have been there for quite a while, ]

 

[westcoaster]

signalling probs between bedford and wellingborough alot of services delayed and cancelled

 

[adambro]

Fingers crossed it gets to Leicester at 1530 and I do as well.

 

[Julian G]

Hopefully it will make up the time

30mins late past Kentish Town @ 1159 on 1125 STP-Sheffield

 

[hairyhandedfool]

Hot off the press on someone else's site.

43058, excellent, I'll add that to the thread. Incidentally, 156404 has been released in EMT livery, with 412 underway. Soon to be started is the 158 refurbishment too.

 

[Jordy]

How many 156s remain to be repainted?

How many 156s remain to be repainted?

156410 and 156411 are still knocking about looking very tatty (156410 has had graffiti cleaned off and the windows seem to be frosted :roll: ) and 412 is underway. See my thread for all info.

 

[me123]

I like the HST. I was reserving judgement as I thought the white coaches might clash with the blue PCs, but it looks stunning. A very brave livery, compared to the more restrained NXEC and MML efforts.

 

[P156KWJ]

the new NXEC livery just looks white white and... did I mention white?

 

[BJMorley]

Its a nice livery, and its nice to comemorate the designer - one of BR's best designs!!
