Gentle reminder that this thread is about the roll out of the EMR livery rather than general unit queries which either already have their own threads or would be suitable for a new one.

A pair of model powercars have been done in the interim livery courtesy of an EMR TM, although I suspect it'll be a while before we see the real life version!
Looks good. Concept art with the fully purple power car does look slightly better though

Reported elsewhere that EMR Mk3 set NL06 was sent to Booths for scrap as '5Z43 1545 Neville Hill T&R.S.M.D to Masboro Booths P S' today
Rather fitting headcode..

Not all of NL06 went: two vehicles (TF and TRFB) remain at Neville Hill.

Apologies, I couldnt find any images of the move so I couldnt check! Any ideas why NL06 was first to go?

Does anyone know whether all the Hull Trains 180s have transferred to EMR?
2 are at Derby Etches Park and I believe the other 2 are at Crofton Depot.

Ok thanks - so does that mean all of them have left Hull Trains?

Yes, Hull Trains no longer has 180s on its books. Not that you'd be able to see any Hull Trains services at the moment...
The first 170 (170416?) which will be in EMR colours, makes its journey from Crofton to Eastcroft on Thursday.

Do you know whether it has had an interior refurb yet?
It has not, design work ongoing.
Ahh right. Thank you!
I might get use to the full purple livery. The doors look better than the original drawings which shows a more turquoise colour.The first 170 (170416?) which will be in EMR colours, makes its journey from Crofton to Eastcroft on Thursday.

In my opinion, the livery would look a lot better if the entire fleet had silver doors.The regional fleet was always going to be silver doors - it's the electrics that will have turquoise doors!

Looks a nice shade of purple. Something a bit different and not too messy.
I quite like the livery.

Is it the same shade of purple as WMR to get better economies of scale on the paint? 
For some reason I always thought the 170s would have the turquoise doors. Hopefully the intercity and electric brands follow with silver doors as they would look a lot better in my opinion.The regional fleet was always going to be silver doors - it's the electrics that will have turquoise doors!

Mr Clinnick reporting on twitter that the first ex LNER HST set to enter service with EMR this Friday. How accurate that is remains to be seen.
I will keep an eye out on Friday morning for the allocations. Considering a set has been out for a test run of some sort then RAIL mag could be right.

170416 is off to Nottingham Eastcroft today.
Just a gentle reminder this thread is to discuss East Midlands Railway livery and station branding
It isn't a master thread to discuss all aspects of EMR trains
I have therefore moved some posts to: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/are-emr-170s-going-to-stay-as-3-cars.203931/#post-4557704
Please create a new thread (or use an existing one, if there is one already) to discuss anything else. Thanks
