i voted for First Great Western cos its evolved from the GWR livery to fag packet and has evolved itnot the "barbie" livery that is so common to us all... because FGW hst sets are rarely never used on other services if ever... i mean i saw a picture of a New MML liveried HSt set on hire to virgin with the MML logo stil in sight and in which case if your not a rail enthusiast you wouldnt know it was your service unless you can see the tiny little sticky labels in the windows...

Even though I voted for the Virgin XC livery (around a week or two ago) , I've personally changed my mind to Intercity.

What are other people's thoughts on the IC, or VXC livery?

Happy Christmas

FGW HSTs have been up somewhere near Stoke a while ago. Never saw it myself, was on Traction 2004.

Re: voyagerdude220's query on thoughts on the VXC livery, I don't mind it as such, but it's not my favourite livery by far. It does rank above 'one' and Northern though.

Well I've seen a full FGW HST set in Manchester Piccadill, forming one of the MML Rio services before.
