The ScotRail 'saltaire' is a very smart livery. A reconizable identity for all trains in Scotland. If DfT wants to do the same for England, it has to be something more inspirational than the 'plain white/gray with coloured doors' idea. Perhaps grey with a dark window stripe and a red bodyside...

What information are you looking for specifically? Did you do a search on Google or Wikipedia?

You could try JBSS BAHN. http://www.jbss.de/ It's what I use to simulate the UK railway network with a fictitious timetable (still far from finished though). I don't know if it's useful for your study project.
