I'd like to see it. Any way of identifying which services it is running on a given day?

Over the course of centuries, Russia has contributed greatly to world culture - and now its greatest achievements will be showcased with the launch of specially themed train operating on London's underground.

Seven uniquely designed carriages will provide a valuable insight into Russian achievements in various landmark subjects such as architecture, art, science, ballet, cinema, literature and space studies as well as showcase famous sights in Moscow.

As with S7 unit requests, let us know (here) if there's a particular day you're looking for and one of us with the appropriate access (@Dstock7080 usually beats me to it!) will try our best to post it up.

Why have they not wrapped the doors aswell?

 

[bluegoblin7]

They have, they're all-over grey.

Points of contrast between the bodyside and the doorways, remember!

 

[Dstock7080]

There are subtle patterns on the grey doors.

Thanks for that! Didn't even realise the doors weren't red! What a dope

Surely it will run on all surface line not just the Circle.

Surely it will run on all surface line not just the Circle.

Well it won't be running on the Met, will it?

Surely it will run on all surface line not just the Circle.

Who said it would only be running on the Circle?

For those who read Russian, and if looking at this thread you are more likely to than most, the "Anglia" free issue Russian-language newspaper in London has an article about the train and London Underground, written from a Russian perspective . You can put it through Google Translate.

I filmed it going through Turnham Green but the footage isn't very good.

This train is fake news, and anyone who claims to have spotted it is fake...
