Well This is the original First Great Eastern Livery (all carriages are now minus "First name & Logo" however the majority still have the colour scheme)

Apologies for size of image but this one shows the First Logo.



Here's an very early "First" branded GER train as you can seen the pattern is slightly diffrent at the front it is most noticeable



Secondly the "one" livered train



This was the only "one" livery I could find on the net, sorry for the colour quality but that's the lighting at London Liverpool Street

Finally the old "Network South East" days



BTW this is the only current GER stock that has gone through all three changes (NSE, First GER, One GER)

Good old Network South East - always fun to be using one on a South West Trains/Southern route.

A lot of the train stations signage still pay homage too - Balham certainly has a sign under the bridge with the NSE logo and "Network South East" written under it - but it's very tatty (much like Balham itself.)

Going back to this thread from a few months, back

Remember I said there was version 1

and then version 2


We wern't sure which was better. It turns out they've now gone with a new version - version 3


This is apparantly final, despite dark blue not really being much of a part of their in-house colour scheme!

They've also just started putting their name on all the rest of the trains that carry the other dozen liveries that they currently use , only about 6 months after they commenced operation, since last December all trains have been running about with no branding

Now that is an improvement! Maybe Northern have realised that light colours aren't very good for trains. Anybody seen any Network Rail yellow stock roaming the railways?

What have they done to Anglia railways?

One's new paintwork is drab, and the old Anglia Railways logo looked like the old Anglia ident, which was a bonus.

The new NI Railways trains and colours are very nice.

the old look:


the new trains:




Better view of the side:


and the old stock in the new colours:

Which leaves me with little, or no, choice:-

I'm no trainspotter, I just appreciate good trains. Surely the class 43 has to be mentioned at this point?

No?..... I'll get me anorak

Connex, anyone? Yellow and white indeed...
