Are there many 365s in the white/blue advertising livery? I have a picture of one with Peterborough Cathedral on the side dated 17th Feb 2006 however I don't know the number and a carriage number is not visible. If there is just one in the livery then it's obvious which it is, however I'm not sure if there is more than one?

Thanks in advance,

Think theres about 3 or 4. I remember seeing at least 2 in one hour at KX.

IIRC one of the advertising ones is stored...

Its 365531, the one that hit a tractor north of Ely a good while back. Now at Derby for the final stage of crash damage repairs...

Of note, 365517 is also down as stopped at Hornsey wth front end damage.

Don't know the numbers, but the four designs (one train of each) are:

Cambridge and Ely
Peterborough
Garden cities of Hertfordshire
North Norfolk (which was hardly out at all before its accident)

Does anyone know which is the Peterborough one? That's the one I have a photo of.

Repairs to the Norfolk train have apparently finally been completed, but there is a bit of bureaucracy in the way of it getting back into passenger service.

It was never handed over to FCC, and hence must be accepted back by WAGN. As WAGN no longer exists this means National Express and hence one. Luckily there are some one drivers who are still signed for 365s up to King's Lynn, so it will be taken for a test drive in the near future, and presumably handed over as soon as possible afterwards if nothing is wrong with it.

Even if it isn't quite right FCC are so short of units at the moment that they'll most likely take it if it gets there and back in one piece.

It's a certainty that FCC will take it into their fleet. 365s are not passed for any route other than KX-Kings Lynn/Peterborough and York.
