First 57 in Arriva sighted

[GNERman]

On wnxx.com there is a photo of Arriva's first 57 in the new livery with their Mk. 2 rake. It looks alright doesn't it?
(http://www.wnxx.com/, latest news, you'll see the photo.)

Be great if that was Rescuing a Pendolino.

Doesn't look that bad, although I can't give the full verdict until I've seen it in Daylight.

Saw her in Bangor last night!

Pretty good job on it, and the Mk2's aren't bad either! They've put 15X style seat covers on the seats too!

They have done a good job on it

I'll decide when I find a friggin shot not taken at midnight.

I thought it was going to be painted into the cream livery and it got me worried!
However, its looks brilliant for Arriva

It was pretty hard to phot it in daylight when it ran in the dark

And to correct you sir, it ran nowhere near midnight :razz:

Well It should run in the day because I say so but still a nice shot actually.

It should be noted that the WAG & Arriva do have plans to introduce and express journey to holyhead in the mornings and return in the evening from holyhead if the present service does well.

Good - more loco-hauled services for Shrewsbury!

Excellent news, although one is left wondering upon how they'll decide it does well. Lots of passengers on board one would assume, but that didn't stop the Manchester to Penzance jobs from being cut...

Looking forward to getting 57315 in the book, had 314 years ago when it was hired in for NWC jobs. Nice and beasty she was, but my highlighter needs to run some colour over 315!

Its the WAG that want the paths, I dont think Arriva are too bothered. The real money is in Manchester - Cardiff, not North - South Wales. They also want them to run via Wrexham instead of Crewe, which is like threading a needle with no hands with the paths that are there....

It even has a dellner coupler so I wouldn't put it past them...

Still, Arriva have done a good job repainting the loco, although I did like the "ghost" livery that a certain 175 had for a while...

Do you mean the Spearmint livery, as many people referred to it as on 175110?

175110 and and 175010 were the two?

110 is still in the original175Arrivalivery livery.

110 is, 008 was the other one. Haven't really seen that one to notice lately, but I know 110's livery on the fronts was looking knackered when it worked Wednesday's 1734 MAN - CDF.
