Quick question which seems most appropriate here - did any Mark 3s get painted into the DOR East Coast colour scheme?

Looking back at my photos, they all look to be still in their NXEC colours until after the VTEC takeover.

One set, EC64, an ex-EMT rake with coaches 41062, 41154, 40732, 42335, 42123, 42125, 42210 and 44073 made it into EC Grey before going into VTEC's "barbershop pole/candy-cane/coke-can" livery.

Also, there was a working a few days ago from Wolverton to Allerton operated by ROG: 319s 218 & 219, still in TL livery, went up to start a new life with Northern.

Thanks, I'll have to see if I got a shot of this.

Are they going to be operating on Northern in TL colours for a bit, or getting the full refurb first?

I'm not exactly sure, but I assume they'll dive straight in; this may free up some space at Wolverton for a couple more 319s to get "Northernised"while maintaining a more electric service.

They have had their C6X + PRM mods and repaint recently
At present Northern's vinyl contractors just need to replace TL's vinyls with Northern's

There hasn't been any confirmation of the next unit since 158717 came back from the works. Potentially 724 or 704 but I have no idea!

704 was still out last weekend as had it on a Glasgow to Aberdeen run last sunday.

I'd noticed this as well, I had a feeling that only a handful of mark 3s received EC grey and Cosmo's post has confirmed which ones.

I'd imagine being London Overground these are being internally refreshed to a 317/7 standard

170408 is in the scotrail 'saltire' livery (repainted by the 17th October) meaning another 170 (possibly 170409) is due soon in Scotrail 'saltire' livery

320412 is in scotrail 'saltire' colours as it returned to Scotland yesterday and LM 320416 went south today for refurbishment/repaint.

Also, Scotrail 158782 went unexpectedly south to Loughborough last week for unknown reasons? Any info as to why 158782 went south?

Have all 377/5s been reliveried to just plain blue now?

Only seem to see the three 377/2s in the first group dynamic block livery although they are vinyled not painted so will presumably have this removed soon if they are still wearing southern livery underneath

I would think those permanently transferring to southeastern will be added on to their refurbishment works

No, definitely some blue FCC 377s with vinyls. 377522 was seen yesterday with vinyls. Look filthy especially the cab ends and roofs compared to the new one.

Also, 375906 was out in blue yesterday paired with fellow blue 375909.

Yes, it does seem a shame, but then again, I'm not that sure the covers on the 377/1s/2s/3s/4s have been renewed either :lol:
Click to expand...

the 1s - 4s did have the seat covers replaced..... just a big shame they werent replaced with a better seat cover and not those sandpaper ones.
