390130is city of Edinburgh
I saw that one only the other day. Did Avanti get it repainted real quickly?

AFAIK, as only the driving coaches of 390130 have been re-wrapped (not repainted - that was done under VTWC), the "City of Edinburgh" stickyback plate is still extant.I saw that one only the other day. Did Avanti get it repainted real quickly?

This video was done in December when they wrapped the 2 sets ready for brand launch. Nothing from this week.Aura Brands video now on YouTube. It seems to be a compilation of the latest wrapping of driving cars at Oxley and the original fully wrapped trains.
Avanti West Coast has told RailAdvent that it is likely that 2 Class 390 Pendolinos will be rolled out in the new livery every week.
390134 now joins 390155 and 390156 as the current fleet of Pendolino’s in Avanti West Coast livery

155 and 156 were done at oxley and Wembley in December. Remainder will be oxley or Longsite.390155 and 390156 had new vinyls applied at Widnes, will the rest be done there or Oxley ?
390155 had its vinyls applied at Oxley and 390156 was done at Wembley over the weekend of 7th/8th December. Both trains departed Widnes in the plain white livery.390155 and 390156 had new vinyls applied at Widnes, will the rest be done there or Oxley ?
155 and 156 are the only 2 in full livery. 134 and 130 have drive car wraps only and any done over next few weeks will be same. No livery on any other intermediate cars for a while yetLooks like 390134 joins 155 and 156 in full avanti livery?

Hi, I’m TT-ONR-NRN and I monitor the rebranding of Avanti West Coast’s fleet. I try to post updates regularly, if you become aware of any changes please do let us know!
Looks more like something out of Sacha Baron Cohen’s Brüno!Images on Facebook showing 390122 and 042 at Longsight with branding to promote the use of facemasks. Designed to look like the units are wearing the masks themselves.
EDIT: It's now turned up on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JB_Northern/status/1272172249865433089?s=20

But is hasn't got the AWC livery, it just has its logo if I'm thinking correctly?Thanks, updated.
Ignore that I’ve put 390122 as unbranded, I meant to put “Avanti West Coast branding”
Silly me
Is temporary livery just their logo and nothing else?390 134 in temporoary livery
Got it. Thanks for the clarification. I wonder if the Voyagers will get the Pendolino livery or not.As far as I'm aware the liveries AWC have at the moment are:
Dark green/white (this is their main livery, which I think all units will eventually be reliveried into):

White, with logos (but covered) on yellow ends (this was an early livery, and is now a proper mess on this Voyager, which is the only one to carry it IIRC):

Hope this helps.

EDIT: I think it's worth saying I know very little about AWC and their liveries - I just know I've seen these ones online. There will almost certainly be other liveries.
Temporary livery looks like the dark green livery on the end coaches but still plain white in the centre coaches. A little bit like the last virgin livery on the 390's.But is hasn't got the AWC livery, it just has its logo if I'm thinking correctly?
