Thank you - you've sold me on the idea of committing to that train.

Travelled back to Wakefield last week in a mk4.
It was bliss
I did First Class Kings X to Leeds Thursday night on a MK4 for a £20 Seatfrog upgrade - it was absolute bliss, just shy of three hours on it as it was a stopper. A class and civilised way to travel IMO.
Wonderful trains - and to think I used to actively avoid them ! (But only to get EMT HST's which were heaven).

Excellent shot of 91101. Shame it wasn't with a set of coaches with the new colours too
They seem to be with a VTEC liveried 91!

One repainted set is with 91127 (repainted), the other is with 91106 (VTEC).
91101 is with a VTEC set. 91105 is currently off set.

Will still never understand this comment.
I’m glad the 225s are finally getting some well needed investment… sadly TfW haven’t showed the same interest in doing it as LNER.

91106 next to be painted in the new LNER livery.

91130 is now complete and moved back to Neville Hill today.

91101 is running today with a repainted Mk4 set. The combination looks pretty good, I must say (sadly didn't snap a pic of it as I was busy climbing the footbridge at Arlesey when it was passing through).

Does anyone have a list of the locomotives and rakes in LNER's dodgy new Swallow livery please?
I want to include details of the 225s alongside the masses of incorrect livery 150/175/450s in my email to RTT Support so that we can finally have the little pictures in the correct livery
Thanks so much

Rakes: NL13 (DVT 82213), NL15 (DVT 82214), NL17 (DVT 82225).
N.B. DVT 82205 (spare) is still in Flying Scotswoman; I'm not sure how up to date LNER keep their formations on a daily basis so it may not necessarily translate if 82205's rostered. (I expect it'll get 'swallowed' in due course.)
Was going to say, surely 82205 will be done if its corresponding loco, 91101, has already been done?

Why? They’re on different maintenance cycles.

91114 is the next to be painted, unsure on which rake is going in but the DVT is 82222

82205 is still in Flying Scotswoman livery. Most recently it appeared on a repainted rake of Mark 4s. It is not assigned to any one set and now performs the spare role previously fulfilled by scrapped 82224.
91114 and NL16 (82222) moved to Doncaster Wabtec today for repaint into the new livery.
The liveries on 91110 and 91111 are both slightly different to previously, but not sufficiently different for there to be any point Realtimetrains updating it @TT-ONR-NRN
91119 has been repainted into the original Intercity Swallow livery. It has been painted this time rather than vinyled like before.

A rake went to Wabtec I think yesterday l
Oh that's a nice bit of work - the vinyls were looking exceptionally tired.
That was silly cancelling it yesterday
Is 114 keeping its Durham livery or getting repainted?

The latter is what I’ve heard. Keeping nameplates but losing livery as per 101.
That’s a shame, I liked it, bus suppose you can’t keep every livery.
