Partly inspired by the "Favourite/Worst TOCs thread", and partly after thumbing through my copy of Colin Boocock's "Railway Liveries 1995-2000", I'm inclined to ask everyone, just what is your favourite passenger TOC livery of privatisation?
Whilst leafing through "Railway Liveries...", it struck me that, for me personally, there are vey few of the more recent privatisation liveries that actually stand out for me, most of my favourites are from the first round of franchising. Few of the more recent ones stand out for me.
I have limited the scope of this poll to just the passenger TOCs, past or present, as that is quite enough to be geting on with, and only to the standard liveries that were widely applied to the relevant companies' train fleets, not experimental liveries or interim branded liveries such as the NX "white stripe".
My apologies if I have missed a crucial livery, I'm sure to have forgotten something!
To get the ball rolling, my favourites are:
GNER
Northern Spirit blue/green
North West Trains blue/gold
Anglia Railways turqoise/white
NX Caledonian Sleeper purple/silver
Midland Mainline teal green with tangerine stripes
