A completely new Virgin livery...

(01 Mar 2015, 9:55 am)aureolin wrote Aye, but they'll stick these temporary vinyls on for now, as every single instance of the 'East Coast' brand needs to be covered up or removed.

(01 Mar 2015, 12:17 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote I've got to say:

A) The new livery looks great.

B) Thanks to East Coast for all those years of brilliant customer service, enjoyable journeys and lovely memories.

C) I'm definitely going DHM-NCL then NCL-DHM with them next Sunday. Take the camera too for a bit of #trainphotting.

(01 Mar 2015, 2:32 pm)Tommy_1581 wrote I actually do know what the livery looks like... 

Lots of red and it's either white or grey, fully or partially along the bottom.

That's all that I'm allowed to tell you and it might be giving a bit more away then I should be.

(01 Mar 2015, 2:33 pm)Dan wrote Ha'way, we're gonna be finding out in less than 24 hours what it looks like anyway!  

If you have a photograph of it or a source, you may as well just share it.

(01 Mar 2015, 2:50 pm)Robert wrote Id love for a photo to emerge and it not to look anything like he said. make him look like a right twat. I know what i will put my money on the livery being like.

(01 Mar 2015, 2:47 pm)Robert wrote Where did he get the image from? You specified him as an enthusiast rather than an actual employee so its not as if he has been told to broadcast the image out otherwise he wouldnt have shown you. If he has a photo then why cant we? Equality springs to mind.
