My favourite livery of any Privatised TOC was the wonderful Blue/Red combo with those large Gold lettering announcing that a GNER train set has just turned up!
However, gone are the days of GNER, the hugely popular owners of the ECML stock and we were left with, first, National Express’s largely unchanged white stripe technique and now Government owned East Coast Trains logos being added. Imaginative to say the least!
So it was a relief to see the choice for a total rethink (and repaint) was the strikingly bold Silver and Purple ensemble that I caught speeding along the stretch of line between Tyne Yard and Lamesley Junction.
Here are a few shots I found on a google search of the new livery which I think could be a good replacement for the iconic GNER colours.
