It has been going on for the last 70 years, get over it.
Honestly is getting dull and tedious seeing the same posts everytime there's a repaint.
See, I am quite amazed that in this day and age (with all the technology and software available), that operators pay someone good money to create a livery which looks very like a competitors livery. Particularly when they want to stand out, be unique, different and shout out that they are different to another company operating a similar network.
Back when operators had nothing more than a small selection of paint tins, a ladder, couple of brushes and masking tape - then, yeah I could see why one operator looked like another.
Ditto when things were nationalised.
I quite enjoy comparing the livery of one operator to several other operators of a totally different company.
Passes the time when I'm bored.
