317722 has indeed been repainted, but into Abellio livery, NOT GA livery.
Anybody got any pictures of this yet?

Not unless someone has visited Ilford to phot it. It's not been out yet, although I'm led to believe it will be out for testing soon.

Not all, just most I think. The Mk2 170s (393-396, 426-434, 450-461 & 472-478) are to receive relivery and interior refurbishment into the saltire scheme. The Mk1 170s (401-424, 470 & 471) are only getting a relivery at this time.Are ALL Scotrail 170s being repainted as quite a few 170/4s still need to be treated whereas all 170/3s are done and currently it seems the ex PTE units are being systematically worked on

Hope this helps,

I think that SPT 170472 is now recieving the 'saltire' livery. That'll leave 474, 475, 477 and 478 in the SPT livery
Just to confuse things, I think 170474 went into works a couple of weeks ago instead of 472. However, with 474 being released this week, 472 has now gone in to replace it. Order has been 473, 476, 474 and now 472 - I was on 472 2 weeks ago and it was in SPT still, with my trip back being on ex-works 473, coincidentally.
334030 has replaced 334009 as the next one at Brodies.
The only difference I know of is the headlights. The Mk1 170s have the original headlights with the three separate bulbs, whereas the Mk2 style have a combined LED marker and tail light. I'll post some pics later, to show what I mean. Also, the Mk1s were built between 1999-2002 and the Mk2s 2003-2005, so there is a small age difference.
I should explain the 170s aren't formally divided into Mk1 or Mk2, that's just a way of telling them apart I've seen used before.

I haven't seen a picture but I think thy are receiving the saltire interior scheme.Am I correct these SPT units retain an SPT interior colour scheme

170474 is in traffic, 475 has now gone in for repaint at glasgow works.
334030 is now out, 334xxx has gone to Brodies.
320312 now in scotrail livery
I presume 320317 will be next, was sat inside Doncaster works yesterday
Yes it is the first, and AFAIK the only Barbie 156 to be done.I was on the Compass Oban trip yesterday and saw 156492 now painted into the Blue ScotRail livery. Is this the 1st ex First one to be done?
Thanks, blue certainly seemed very prominent when travelling through Glasgow as well.Yes it is the first, and AFAIK the only Barbie 156 to be done.

156499 returned in Barbie livery after repairs as I saw at Queen Street when in Scotland for the Bo'ness Diesel gala last July.This image would suggest otherwise...

499 was involved in the same accident, near Stranraer, as 492, both repainted when repaired.

OK, makes sense now, I hadn't realised it had been involved another accident.156499 has been a bit unlucky of late and was involved in two accidents - on the Oban line in June 2010, after which it was out of service for a considerable period, then Dungrait, near Stranraer in October 2012. It was after this latter accident that it was repainted in ScotRail colours.
