True, but does it matter if a livery dates? Trains generally need to be painted every 10-15 years to protect against corrosion, so as long as we have generic franchises with small, subtle 'operated by' logos, there's no reason why the livery can't be changed when repaints are due. The key is to separate the repainting process from the franchising process to stop unnecessary repainting.
