Ah come on man. How dare you question sampling techniques! Wink

Backs up the point I was making back then though. Anyone can apply a sampling technique to get the end result they desire. I can't for the life of me believe that anyone would have opted for the new scheme over the old, unless it wasn't explained properly to them...

Please say that your not doing a thing that another enthusiast does!  Tongue

Just drop them a message (private, of course), stating the code and the service etc.

BREAKING NEWS:

Is this genuine?

How much weight does the letter carry?
If it is, it essentially means, that the livery must continue, until withdrawal - meaning it can't be branded in corporate livery.

I would like to see 91 110 kept too.
How far do you go, should 91 101 be kept?

Yep, it's genuine. Paul (the person who designed the livery) says that 91111 may be going to the NRM along with 91110 and 91131. Early days yet, I'll post more news when I get it. Smile

More delays.

@Virgin_TrainsEC
Due to a problem at a level crossing between Alnmouth For Alnwick and Morpeth trains may be disrupted at short notice.

This affects NT and XC services.

91121 will be the service that terminates in Newcastle at 2029. May be an interesting one to photograph, as the loco is still in East Coast livery, but the coaches are in the new Virgin livery.
