I was otherwise engaged over the weekend, so didn't get down to the event to see the repaint in the flesh. 
However, after seeing photos online and then seeing it on the 585 yesterday, I can't help wondering 'what if'... 

My twitter feed is full of shots related to the 'BR liveried 125' and having seen the interior and traditional style posters on-board, I can't help feel as if this front-end repaint, was worth it.
Was it a budget issue? Was it a time issue? Resource perhaps? 
Or, was there other reasons why we see the front end repainted, whilst the rest of the vehicle is left in its current livery, along with the remnants of decals which have been removed?

Wasn't sure what to expect, but it wasn't that.
