I like the fact they have got rid of the white swish.

Not mine.

I agree. However, looking closely at the second photo in Mully's post, it looks like they only got rid of part of the swish. The bit touching the grey the other side of the window is still there.

Looks to be very cheap bit of re-branding!

With a new fleet coming that makes sense

Well LNER had a mini launch yesterday at Leeds... Old ATOS Anne was announcing
“Platform 9 for the 07:15 London North Eastern Railway service to London Kings Cross”
Didn’t think they started till Sunday

In other locations as well, along with the website and signage around the network. It's not a mini launch, it's preparation.

Most of the above info, apart from the RTT links, will be familiar to people who’ve read the main thread about this franchise change. We really don’t need another discussion of liveries, branding, platform signage, websites etc. This sub-forum is for timetables and allocations etc.

Considering the branding comes as sticker blocks. It may not be that simple.
