If it is the temporary livery then I think it is just alterations to the cab areas rather than the full unit.

It also goes over the window band with black rather than LM dark grey.
Edit: turns out it doesn't - looks like the window band on the /2s is darker in colour and shinier than the /1s and indeed already mismatches the sticker a bit.

Sorry poorly worded. I meant it arrives at around 02:30!

How long does it actually take to relivery a unit? Does anyone know?
Looks like there are two 350/2s rolling around in "temporary" livery now. Why the "temporary" bit again? Not sure why they didn't finish the job. The 350/2s aren't leaving the LNWR fleet are they?
Also looks like one of the 350/2s suffered some heavy vandalism down one side, post vinyl. It's had a hasty cleanup job since. Shame this happens.
Will the 350/4s get full LNWR green garb inside and out when they arrive or are they likely to stay in TPE colours for years, as they only just had a makeover anyway?
Thanks.

The 350/2s are leaving LNR, hence the temp livery

The /2's will be disappearing from late 2019.....5 more 319's in soon, plus the /4's now delayed until mid 2019......and TPE are trying to hold onto them for even longer.

Hopefully more of the lovely /2s.

They seem to be allowing about a week, give or take. One went in this evening and similar paths are in for next Wednesday. Whether that means anything (they could send the other one out earlier by putting another path in at shorter notice) I am not 100% sure though!
Anyone know where the 350/2s might go please? Seems a shame as the Euston Tring, and Birmingham local services don't really need 110mph running and difficult to see who else might want 37 AC sets at this time. Would have thought it'd be better to keep all the 350 sub types with one operator to simplify maintainence and interoperability.
Wondered if they might also have collected up and perhaps coverted the 360s from Anglia and Heathrow eventually, which coulda been useful on LNWR branch lines or for peak services. Guess not now.

There's no home for them at present, and have been many threads proposing where they could go.

It's good to see WMT moving quickly with the relivering, a lot quicker than SWR another TOC of the same age, bit embarrassing with FirstGroup's woes and the strike action... At least SWR's 450s and 158/9s are getting sorted out.
Anyone know when are the non-outgoing LNR & WMR fleets getting a interior refresh?

Have all international shuttles gone to 350s? I don't see that line much but it was a 350 when I last saw it...

Yes it's booked 350 except late evening and weekends when it's a 323

So who is the ‘operator’? LNWR or WMR?

It’s changed since May 21st 2018 timetable change. In order to Brosgrove extension.

2039 is 323. The 350 then goes coupled with 2054 to euston. Far as Northampton.

That's why I think it was a stupid decision to split into two franchise names.

London midland would’ve needed to do the same as well. As west coast services and west Mida franchise has been spilt. It was planned at the time of bidding.
