Good to see its been repainted in enough time for the brand's official launch.

See annoying thread
The special liveries, For the Fallen, BBMF, Craigentinny 100 etc, may be kept.
The Flying Scotsman livery may be slightly edited due to the large presence of EC purple.

I've heard about a VT Creative Director person bloke teasing people on his twatter.
I doubt that it'll be out, unless in a last resort.
Beardy Branson will be so upset!
No photos yet, but I'll not be surprised if an odd photo appears online.

Any idea what kind of goodies? I will be there though as I am a trainspotter. It's probably going to be an all nighter for me, David and my few friends from York, as we will move on to Manors as soon as NCL kick us out
Lee - brave lad, moving on to MAS that late at night! Davie thinks it'll be EC stuff (I bloody hope so!, the only EC things I have are an EC bag and destination sign).
If you want a destination sign, ask the cleaner on either 1N08, 1N30, 1N12, 1N32, 1N19 or 1N21 and ask for a destination sign.
Is anyone going to Newcastle on the 28th? For the last day of EC.
Ta.
@Tommy_1581 - I will be there with Davie and Anthony Whiteford
Anthony Whiteford said he won't be there, Thomas will be though.
Weren't you supposed to be at Newcastle today?
Ah right. I was meant to be but my grandad is more important at the moment. He has just had an operation and is in intensive care, so I couldn't get there.
How do you know I was meant to be there? Are you Thomas?

Hope he's alright.
Thanks Marcus, he's getting there slowly but surely

Ah right, that's fine, hope he's ok.
No, I'm Tommy.
Thomas is the lad who is always at Central Station, he told me that you were supposed to be at Central Station yesterday.

Just testing
It looks like thousands of people are unhappy with the fact EC is changing hands, personally I don't blame them because apparently Virgin's service can be pretty sh1te at times

Quite a bit of backlash at them doing away with the current reward scheme and changing it to Nectar.

Won't Nectar points be able to be used on VTEC services, like how Rewards. used to be like?
People can use they Nectar card, at say, Sainsbury's, and then use their Nectar points against a ticket purchase?
