Class 43 renamed

[lincs66]

I was in Newark this morning, and spotted 43312 and 43208. I noticed a name plate was fitted to 43208. It ended in 'echo'

the plate looked shiny as if it was recently fitted, but i cant find anywhere stating or reporting that it has been named. Has any one else heard or seen this ?

Thanks

It's named "Lincolnshire Echo", after a local newspaper in the area. I was wondering which power car/class 91 the name was going to be affixed to. It must be a very recent naming.

Yes, it has been attached to 43208. i have a photo of what i saw, but only the first power car which was 43312, 43208 was on the back.

It was named today, so very recent!

I recently read that East Coast are naming another one of its power cars with a name related to York. Does anyone know or have heard what number they are placing the name plate on ?

Yes I saw an article and a picture in the latest online Railway Herald if you are interested.
