The repainted units carry their number on the cab roof. Not sure why, it would need a drone or helicopter to see them.

They also carry their numbers on the side of the cab, at the bottom.

And there's still quite a few 378/1's in the old livery.
Oh! I read wrong! The Little Book of Numbers still holds true! 378135/136/147/150/206/232 are in the new livery. It seems to be going slowly though!

378 150 has been in the new livery for nearly 2 years at least (spotted it in July 2019). Though most I see are still in original livery, does seem to be taking a while

Would it be safe to say that there hasn't been much slack in the 378 fleet? Until the Class 710s are fully introduced.

It is still ongoing. All Class 378/1s have been repainted, and the Class 378/2s are nearly done too I believe.

that’s not correct, I still only see a handful each day, my office sits opposite the track on the ELL.

Thanks for all the reply’s. Do we know when the last repaint took place?
