Your favourite livery?

[Vulcan]

Oh? My story is also 'something I heard', I'm afraid.

So is mine!

Its probably one of these myths that has been built up over the years from things people have heard, like the various stories about people having to be balanced with pigs on the Listowel and Ballybunion monorail.

Network Southeast! It looks a bit worn on the 4 vep at the nrm though.....

I think it's in that horrid Connex livery which probably looked worn and dirty before it had even dried

Even though I quite like the 'Connex' liverys (Except the 'Networker' ones errr...) it always got dirty and did'nt wear well either and always looked tired and worn after a while.

But when new I thought it looked quite nice on the 'Slammers.

Perhaps a new aspect to this would be your least favourite liveries?

I vote for Colas rail livery

I always thought Southern's two tone green looked rather nice on the slammers, although sadly it only managed to reach one VEP

Ah well 56312 in that horrible all over purple livery with bright green text,

The NX livery together with WAGN liveries.

Must say though the 365s in the NSE livery but with FCC branding was the best design at the time, pity no TOC does the same with one livery being used and just have a vinyl in the middle of the coach denoting the TOC which would have been a lot more smarter then some liveries currently in use ie East Midland Trains running 158s with Transpennine Express, Central Trains and East Midlands Trains logos/branding etc...

Would save so much money when franchise renewals come up as well, the same could apply for stations with one basic design used for InterCity, NSEn

Scotrail are in the process of doing so.

No, the one behind it. NetworkSoutheast is always bueatiful, even if it is worn.

66412's Malcom livery.

Did'nt the 'Southern' livery get on some CIGs too? I am sure I saw a couple of them in the livery.

I have been looking at the last Class 411 CEP being used on the SE before withdrawl, it had funny enough just been transferred from SWT and it's paintwork was in a very bad state (Look on the SEG site for more pics of it).

Although I do quite like the old SWT livery on CIGs, VEPs, & CEPs it suited them very well.

Did'nt the 'Southern' livery get on so some CIGs too? I am sure I saw a couple of them in the livery.

I think there were 4 that got repainted into Southern livery.

Thanks for that, I alwas thought the 'Southern' livery got on some CIGs.

Actually both types of NSE 'Toothpaste' look quite modern for its day and even in the 2000s when it was still on some units it looked a standerd livery and did'nt look an old fashioned livery at-all (Look at the Class 465s in Phase 2 toothpaste from the early 1990s).

Ah yes - it is indeed, although that one's a HAP

Ummm, I'm not saying your wrong,but the nrm's website said that it's a vep. Search up network southeast on the collection search.

 

[poshbakerloo]

Very very nice looking MK3!!!

I think this is ok...

I never liked this tho...

Too many lines, it dates things a lot, just like the old Virgin livery did...

I think the class 423s looked very good in the Southern Livery.

Yes, I wish more of them had ended up like that. Would have done them some justice.

The 423s where one of the few trains that suited it!

And the CIG's. Perhaps it's because it's quite oldschool.

It does look good on the CIGs

I always thought that livery just looked messy

 

[GNERman]

i agree, it is a bit of a mish-mash of random colours and shapes...

 

[MCR247]

Is that a blue rectangle on the doors? wtf? Randomest thing ever on a livery I have seen
