LNER (Formerly Virgin Trains East Coast & East Coast)
If I'm honest I don't really like this new livery, I liked the old East Coast one as it was nice and simple, and I think the trains suited it. This one looks a bit dated if I'm honest, and I don't think the train suits it that well. It might grow on me, however I think that it'll look better on the new trains whenever they are produced.

I think it looks great.

In hindsight...can't help but feel 91124 looks like a Coca-Cola bottle.
No, in all honesty I think the livery is alright, but I do think the old EC silver and purple stripe livery was very recognisable around the country - no doubt by 2018 when these new trains are introduced, we'll see the livery as an icon.
Not being funny, but I couldn't give a rats chuff what colour the train is, who said this or who said that.
As long as its warm, comfortable, reliable and gets me from A-B on time.
Then to get into the nitty gritty, it is re-nationalised and someone sorts out the Nectar shambles

(03 Mar 2015, 9:03 am)Tommy_1581 It's funny that Marcus gets replies to his conversations, but I still haven't got confirmation that they've kept some goodies aside for me...
... It begs the question, what's the connection between VTEC and Marcus, to get all of these replies?

(03 Mar 2015, 4:23 pm)leestransportphotos Just face it Tommy, you aren't going to get any merchandise. Hundreds of people have asked and if they just say yes to you then the others are going to complain. I have already asked because I have a website and they said no.
They see merchandise as a waste of money.... And let's face it, why would they spend money on thousands of pens etc when they could be spending money on improving the trains.

(03 Mar 2015, 4:25 pm)MarcTheA4 Possibly the reason I was getting replies to my friendly conversation, was because I was not badgering them for stuff.

(03 Mar 2015, 4:31 pm)leestransportphotos Exactly! At the end of the day, if one train enthusiast brags to others about some VTEC merchandise he has, then they are going to want some, so on so on.... That's generally why they don't give it away. Obviously they have Pens etc but they don't give them away for many reasons. One of them being security, people like to walk around pretending they are employees.
