See today's RailwayCentre.com picture of the day by Colin Marsden. As he alludes to in the caption, the huge cost of applying a special livery to two HST power cars is rather negated by the fact that the web site being advertised does not work (as of mid-morning today)!

I think that may be because it doesn't launch until 24th January. The sets were just re-liveried prematurely.

Which one is the other power car?
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
That's if it doesn't break down (again)
Do trains really "break down"?
Depends on who made them?
43021 Is the other power car, Another denamed one as 43021 was until this branding exercise ''Dave Austin - Cartoonist''

I can assure you 43021 isn't the other one.
43021 is still David Austin and sitting at OOC

You'd have thought they would have cleaned it up a bit first! It's certainly not the worst I've seen but still quite grubby!

And 43021 is currently at OOC with no power unit in it.
However much money is in these advertising deals, they still do not have an abundance of power cars to be able to stop them for a day just to have stickers applied.
Does anybody know what, if anything happened at Paddington this morning?

Still, both lovely machines!

South West Trains should've been involved given that the aircraft in question is 9V-SWT.
