On my way home from Derby I decided to go via Nottingham, I missed my connection and had a 1 hour wait....
I saw the first East Midlands Trains 222 8-)

just seen a 222 going south through bedford in the new livery looked like a 444 going by, i think it looks quiet futureistic from the front.

The colours do suit the shape I think. Going take some getting used to for me though as my brain will be telling me its a 444 for ages to come im sure!

confusing as hell hehe

Loader dislikes Stagecoach 100% so also dislikes the livery.

Just wait for that 30% fare rise Loader...

Lush livery though - like the number on the front.

Not as bad as I thought it was going to be from the first picture they released of the livery.
Much prefer the MML livery. I don't like the yellow/red front bit. It's just a little weird. They're starting to look a little like Pendos lol

Hardly!

MML is just a series of shapes ... at least EMT is streamlined. :)

I don't like the blue along the bottom, it looks far brighter than used on the 444s, plus a lot taller. Really spoils it IMO.

the livery suits the 222 quite well [In my Opinion],
good news for the number crunchers though ;)

Mixed reviews here. It looked awful in the mock-up, but the finished article looks very good I must say.

I agree with me, if the headlamp clusters were like Voyagers then it wouldnt look so stremlined.

Its distinctly average. I very much doubt it will suit the hst sets, if they put white on a powercar I cannot seeing it staying clean at all!

I do like the livery, is EMT keeping on the HSTs? if so then i think the livery would suit a HST :D
