Why has Abellio Greater Anglia not at this time got round to repainting any of its Class 170s DMU or its Class 360s EMU in to its own livery yet?

Lost somewhere within Bank-Monument tube station,
The 170s will be done when they go for refurbishment either later this year or early next year. AGA are concentrating on the 156s, 153s and the MK3 stock beforehand.

As for the 360s, word is that they were painted in graffiti-resistant paint, which is incredibly difficult to paint over or remove (probably would require complete sanding down of the bodywork). So presumably they're at the back of the queue regarding EMU painting.

the 170's were due to be done this year but i think because railcare went into adminstration it was pushed back to next year the 360's they have be fully sanded down to bare metal before being repainted maybe they will be done after the 315's as theres only about 30 of them left to do
