Yeah, so did I. Wonder why they removed them? I suppose it is because they were Virgin red.

Possibly. They are removed when they are being revinyled. Avanti West Coast says they will have the future names for these Super Voyagers but it is unclear if they will have their new names or not. But my guess that they will be transferred to CrossCountry after they are being replaced by the new trains at this point.
XC removed the names on their Voyagers with the franchise change in 2007. Seems to be quite a normal thing for unit names to be changed with the franchise.

I think @221101 Voyager updates his list as they go in for the new vinyls as opposed to when they come out
Once we can get back out and about more regularly, it won't take long for me to catch up with them all considering the frequency they pass through the local haha!Keep an eye on RTT, it will come out eventually, so you can see it!
Has this gone into Widnes or Edge Hill already or just due to?

I do indeed makes changes to the fleet list as soon as I’m aware they are either being done on have been done.
I have a few 221s to get but it won’t take long before I get them all.

They are.
Before we know it every 221 and 390 will be covered in the livery.
I wonder why Avanti aren't naming any of their stock other than 119 & 156?
I know quite a few 390s still have red/other colour vinyls names from VT though.

I don't know for sure, but maybe they got some flood damage whilst they were stabled somewhere?
Who knows?
I'm sure there is someone on here who will be able to give us a definitive answer.
