That looks incredibly smart. Very impressed.

Mostly Glasgow-ish. Mostly.
Pretty bland and uninspiring livery to my eyes, but whatever. What's more important is how they'll be as a TOC and how effectively they can implement their proposed changes to further improve what I think is already a really good service.

I hope that the splicing of "Avanti West Coast service..." into announcements isn't too clunky.

I can only guess that every time there is a ticket price rise, or a Thameslink-like setback on the West Coast, the press will complain about passengers being put at a "disavantige"?

No, that pun makes no sense at all. It is too clunky.

Maybe just shorten to Avanti Pendolino /Avanti Voyager / Avanti new train name / Avanti High Speed (not official brand, hopefully they go for something more interesting than high speed)

The train colour is green, assuming the video on the web site is accurate.
Not as dark as GWR though - more of a turquoise.

Considering Virgin offers 24/7 on twitter I would expect similar hours or at least until the last train hopefully :P
