WMTrains livery and station branding

[brwmly]

Five Ways' platform lights and the poles along the ramp to the waiting area are being painted orange... Even though they've just done the stairs green again.

And Bournville has changed signs, even though they only redid them last year. I know everything is being done by October, but at least change the old, faded signs first.

 

[Bletchleyite]

With regard to the style of the signage, it appears to be the same as what is used by Abellio on Greater Anglia, just a different colour.

It's also not straight

 

[brwmly]

Better?

 

[Bletchleyite]

I didn't mean the photo wasn't straight, I meant the sign isn't straight - look at it against the support above it

 

[centraltrains]

Just passed five ways, people seem to be looking to get ready to paint things and the lampposts at the far end of one platform have gone orange!

Edit: whoops, already posted. Trust me to land on an old page!

It is straight. Just because the photo was at an angle doesn't mean the sign is.

It isn't straight! Look at the gap between the structure and the sign at one end and at the other. It's about 0.5-1cm out.

 

[centraltrains]

They've just started painting the canapy supports at university (white as per five ways)

It may not be straight there, but it might be straight relative to the platform. Haven't been there in donkeys' so will have to confirm when I'm next there.

Are you really being serious?

 

[Bletchleyite]

Are you really being serious?

Yes, look at it.

 

[anamyd]

Yes, look at it.

I spotted it first time. Different people have differing levels of eyesight however.

Well that's just unacceptable, I dread to think of what damage this has caused to passenger numbers....

Sloppiness breeds more sloppiness. There is no excuse for being sloppy.

Selly Oak in process of being tangoed.

Bourneville has new signage, but station remains purple at present.

Aston has new signage with AVFC badge and mentions Villa Park. Aston pic added

Witton still untouched.

Can someone attach a image of 172217 and a 350/1 in the new livery.

 

[Spirit555]

You can search for 172217 on Flickr. There's a pic on there.

Don't know abut the 350/1 though

Is that an orange rather than yellow front?

It looks orange to me.

 

[Spirit555]

It's Yellow. It does look Orange but if you enlarge the pic you can see its yellow compared to the orange

It's yellow. The hue of the tangerine and the sunlight make it look orange.

There is no 350/1 in the new livery yet.

Indeed; although you stated that 350115 has joined the refurb programme, it wasn't implicit that it would be reliveried too.

No, it's yellow.

Assuming you're referring to the gangway, judging by the condition of the paint I'd say it's the same yellow paint it left the factory with.

It is straight.

It isn't straight!

It may not be straight there, but it might be straight relative to the platform.

No, it's yellow.

This thread is brilliant, it reminds me of the Monty Python argument sketch! Keep it up folks!!
