Ohhh, now then...
MML 222s are bloody beautiful :p
Central 170s are nice...
442s, even though they're kinda odd looking...

MML 222'S - Do look quite good. Why are they much better looking than a Voyager?

I think it's probably the different design of the light cluster, as well as a livery that actually works.

For some reason, the networker family float my boat (those smiley units are genial)

The Voyager front end was designed with the involvement of Virgin, so MML and Hull trains had to have a modified design. One of the big changes was the light clusters, and they really make them look so much better. Personally, I prefer the Hull trains ones though, since I like the livery more, and to be quite honest I see so many MML Meridiens I get sick of the bloody things.

I quite like the Turbostar family, and the similar design as on the Class 357s and the later batch of Clubmans.

A smiling 365 can often cheer me up if I'm in a bad mood in the morning. They look surprisingly good in the latest variant of First Barbie.

Must agree - the Barbie Neon looks great.

The stations however in that mucky purple such as Reading; Brunel must be turning in his grave.

Oh and about all the new 'First' neon Styling, its ****! its overly compact, and extremely tacky with no stlye! bring back things like the White green FGW

I quite like 185s, and 444s are no uglier than 442s! (Except 442s are older so they must be better).

Suprised we haven't had a "WOOHOO SWT ARE RIDDIE OF THE 170S DEY ARE TURDO WE LOVE DA ANCIENTEEEEE 158S DEY HAVE SEATIES POUR DA MASSES!" etc.
