[Failed Unit]

Doesn't look bad

 

[Daimler]

Mmm...not sure about the front end treatment. Apart from that it looks pretty smart!

 

[jopsuk]

Somehow, despite using a lot less yellow, makes them look a lot more similar (than the di previously) to their Diesel cousins, the 175.

 

[class156]

It looks rather good, just wished that I had seen it today.

 

[jamesontheroad]

Looks excellent. Suddenly makes the carmine and cream seem very drab; it's a good, deep majestic colour for a trainset.

 

[Fincra5]

I think it suits the train very well.

 

[Goldfish62]

It's transformed. Always thought they looked hideous before.

Gives a hint of what the 458s would look like in outer-suburban blue, if SWT EVER get round to repainting them.

 

[asylumxl]

Much better

 

[Crossforth]

Very Very smart livery

 

[route101]

Good livery Like the blue rather than purple. It will take a while for all the EMUs to get painted . So that leaves the SPT 170S left as the only SPT liveried DMUs left . I wonder if the 314s will make the repaint .

 

[Bittern]

They're stating on to 2019, so I'd say they'll see the Saltire. In fact, I heard a rumour form Scot-Rail that they may see it this January.

 

[route101]

ah good to hear . That will mean 4 liveries on the 314s . They will look good as new ! Just on the 1550 ec from glasgow now !

 

[CarterUSM]

Yes, i will be pleased to see them tarted up too! Don't suppose there is any chance of a cursory internal refurb also?

 

[sprinterguy]

The Saltire 334 looks great: The Scotrail dark blue livery suits most things it’s applied to fantastically well, 156s are the exception IMO. The SPT Carmine and Cream didn’t sit well on modern styled units I thought. I agree with Jopsuk that the new colours do indeed reveal the similarities of the 334 design to the 175s.

 

[Bittern]

Apparently, ScotRail responded to an e-mail asking when the 314s are to be Salitired, and they said early 2011. If this hold true, seems the 314s will be up next.

 

[route101]

Looking forward to the 314s in blue. Things are moving fast in Scotland.

 

[jamesontheroad]

334012 has been sighted today in rubbed down form, so the pace of getting them through looks to be pretty rapid, considering how tight the fleet is right now. Perhaps they just want two or three in place for the A2B opening and then things will ease off until there's more slack in the fleet.

 

[me123]

I'm not by any means an expert, but it seems to be that they're rubbing them down/partially reliverying them one weekend and vinyling it the next. Presumably the timetables at the weekend allow for one unit to be processed. This allows them to be out and about in that horrible state over the week to cover for the current shortage.

As for the number they want done... I reckon they'd only do enough to ensure that Stewart Stevenson MSP can open the line in front of the new livery and not have an SPT-liveried train creep into a photo shoot.

 

[First ScotRail]

Exactly my views, why do you think mr stevenson arrived to open bathgate station on a saltire livery 170 434 with steve Montgomery and mary grant...

 

[The 158 Man]

I noticed the light clusters are a different shade of blue...

This new livery looks far batter though, especially on the cab ends.

 

[MCR247]

Well if you count black as a different shade of blue, then yes they are

 

[The 158 Man]

Ok Mr. Pendantic, the parts around the light clusters are clearly a different shade of blue. :roll:

When 006 was partially reliveried, they were blue, now it's completed, they're black again.

 

[The_Stig]

Just the two units being done for the opening of the A2B line. The rest will receive their new paint during their C6 exam.

 

[route101]

So when is the C6 exam then?

 

[Juniper Driver]

I take it this unit is part of the Juniper family?

 

[jopsuk]

Yup- and they had the associated "troubled" introduction to service when they were bought (but are fine now)
