Wouldn't be surprised if 67008 appears in white sometime soon.
Any sign of a 67 in TfW livery?
This from the Railways of North Wales Facebook group yesterday:
“TfW Loco Hauled diagram December changes. UPDATED.
In order to ensure that first class and catering remains available on the Premier service, the "WAG" stock will continue to work the 0534 Holyhead Cardiff and 1716 Cardiff Holyhead.
The stock currently working the Manchester commuter diagram will be based at Canton and will work the 0702 Cardiff Holyhead and 1134 Holyhead Cardiff.
A DMU will work the previously loco hauled advertised 1124 Cardiff Holyhead and 1651 Holyhead Cardiff.
This arrangement will apply until further notice (May 2020 TBC) and will then be replaced by mk4 stock once route clearance and crew training is completed.
A mk4 set will operate the current Manchester diagram as planned from December until further notice once crew training is completed.
THIS ARRANGEMENT APPLIES FROM 16TH DECEMBER.”
So we may see a 67 in TFW colours by then.
Already posted here as it's not a livery matter.

Yes it is. I posted the quote in this thread also as it outlines TFW plans and may give an indication of when we could expect a 67 in TFW livery, so one to watch out for.
thanks for that! does anyone know which 153 it is / any idea when 153323 is coming back...?
Thanks for the info Might even put it on the list once I've seen a photoRumour this morning is that 67025 is the first to have received the new livery. The grey is darker than on the 175s but the red is the same apparently.
Painting the rest tonight, are they?

67025Like it! Any idea which one it is?
67025
The photo has probably been taken from WNXX this evening where it was credited to M Church
67025 has been out of service at Crewe since 2015 and transferred recently to Toton
I see. I had a look on there for discussion on this but couldn’t find anything - do you have a link please?
Why do people have this Welsh Dragon idea in their heads...? As far as I know, the Welsh Dragon has never been in TfW's brand identity...Whilst it looks smart on a 67 I do wonder if they'd have been able to get DB to do something different to the units, a dragon pops to mind as an example with no windows to interrupt it.
TfW have never had anything to do with the dragon in any of their brand stuff...I didn't specifically say Dragon it was an example. As for why, there's this thing called national identity which is currently growing exponentially in Wales, even many in Monmouthshire are going that way
I think he knows that,it would look awesome having a Welsh dragon on its side though is the point being made I think...TfW have never had anything to do with the dragon in any of their brand stuff...
153323 may be trying to have a go tomorrow:-
