LNER Mk4 new livery?

[HSTEd]

Somewhat related question not worth a new thread. I just saw a Mark 4 rake southbound at Grantham at speed painted in what appeared to be Intercity Swallow.

Was I hallucinating?

I think there might be a dedicated thread for this, but yes the LNER sets are being repainted into a livery very reminiscent of Swallow, just with red instead of black in some areas iirc.

Thanks 800001, I suspected so but I couldn't see any other paths leaving Doncaster Works. Look out for paths w/c 20th from Wabtec, and keep eye open for Neville Hill to Peterborough and return paths, they will be the give away
