Looks good!

Looks good!

It does indeed! I assume this was heading north? The 12:00 out of Preston northbound (1S51 to Glasgow), Or was it the one before (1S46 to Edinburgh)?

402 going back north as the 15:15 from Piccadilly if anyone is interested

 

[Starmill]

I saw it pass Mauldeth Road. It looks fantastic!

 

[Mordac]

This livery suits them much better than it does the 185s. Shame they won't have it for very long.

I'm offended but only because you've used the wrong meme!

The competition as to which one gets vinyled up is on.

Suppose it depends which one loses its pan first, 404 0r 408!

Have to say, prefer that livery to the one on the 185s

Aren't they pretty much the same?

 

[TC60054]

Aren't they pretty much the same?

It's exactly the same.

 

[61653 HTAFC]

It's exactly the same.

Thought so. Maybe there are slight differences due to vehicle length, but that's all.

 

[Mordac]

It looks much better on the 350s though.

That's not the livery, it's the units themselves surely? The gangwayed Desiros look more like conventional trains than the ungangwayed ones which look more like trams on steroids!

Wow ok, I'm not un seeing that one any time soon.. 185's, trams on steroids. You've got a good point though!

401 is now in the new TPE livery, minus front end set numbers.

 

[joshy.fre_2003]

Have they got any done over Easter other than 401?

 

[BMIFlyer]

Have they got any done over Easter other than 401?

Doing 1 per week, like the class 185's.

Over the Easter weekend (Saturday especially) most WCML TPE services are double 350's. So no room for more than one set out of service for the new colours at a time.

The 350 fleet is having other things done at the same time as the re vinyl - the traction motors are being refurbished as they are approaching 1 million miles of running and that is the first landmark for major work to be done on them.

 

[route101]

Must say whenever ive used the TPE 350s they have been very clean and tidy .

 

[joshy.fre_2003]

I imagine they'll have got one done today, can't be coincidence that all the new ones were out today. 350's working today were 401, 2, 3, 4 and 9. So that's 5 olds they could have got on with, I'm sure at least one will have been worked on today.
