Not content with their previous hundred liveries, First Great Western launched yet another livery upon their HST fleet in 2006 –‘dynamic lines’. It didn’t last very long on the HST power cars at all – little over a year – which is a shame, because it was easily the best of the bunch. Each floor is like a labyrinth, and you must make your way through the rooms and corridors. Open the kid gates to lead the path, then keep walking the toddler to the bathroom. Just make sure not to get lost, or you might not finish your potty training in time! What else you should know

Virgin’s earlier lot of HST acquisitions also worked North Wales services out of Euston, which might partly explain the disappearance of the XC lettering as they could be used on any old diagram and not just Cross Country. ReplyIn 1987, BR again updated its Intercity brand, with the introduction of the ‘Swallow’. This did away with the yellow altogether, save for the front ends, and brought the red line and white base from the coaches all the way across the loco. And it saw the introduction of that iconic flying swallow logo,too. Great Western ‘Merlin’ Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Two boxes at the rear of the auditorium each have space for one wheelchair user and a companion. Please book early and ask for these seats.

The new EMT livery was by me, here at DGDESIGN. m360 worked on the EMT brand including the ‘train device’. DGDESIGN were commissioned to work on the ‘new’ buffer sets and together with EMT decided to align the exterior livery with the wider brand material. The Best Impressions livery is well loved, so we didn’t throw it out, just evolved the themes. So the colours and ‘swooshes’ are new, the gradient fade is new, and the carriages are simplified. The trains had very short access to the paint-shop, which limited the number of processes/layers we could do, so much is done with vinyls, which in-turn enabled the gradient fade which looks so good.

Level access from the Pit floor foyer only to the two boxes (see Mobility below). All other seats lead off stepped aisles.The plot, which has been kept perfectly under wraps in a sealed plastic container, follows Barbie as she realises life in Barbieland is not as perfect as it seems. Not even a dreamhouse can fix an existential crisis. I was an apprentice at Crewe works at the same time and the first few up to 43006 were definitely painted the same when built but repainted before leaving the works – the first one I recall seeing leaving the works with the blue banded end was 43008 coupled to another seen from my classroom in the works training school as it passed the Crewe Works train platform alongside the electric depot in late autumn 1975 – I also remember our instructor..possibly titled chief instructor..Mr Shilton saying he thought the change to the blue band was the right decision and thinking that I agreed with him.. Reply Sir Kenneth Grange’s masterpiece, the Intercity 125 High Speed Train, is now in its twilight years.

And from one Best Impressions creation to another, it’s Virgin Trains East Coast’s devilishly sexy red and silver livery. The way the original light bar is extended and flared across the bodyside in silver is a masterstoke – and those coaches trailing behind, adorned in diagonal-leaning red stripes, are a sight to behold when you see one at full tilt. GWR green NXEC’s grip on the East Coast franchise ended in disaster, but not before they’d binned GNER’s attractive navy blue livery in favour of their excruciatingly dull grey and white colour scheme. The Government’s operator, East Coast, adapted this for their own purposes after the National Express franchise collapsed. East Coast We are within walking distance from a number of London Underground stations, the closest being Barbican, St Paul’s and Moorgate. The nearest train stations are Liverpool Street and Farringdon. Bus Route 153 runs directly past the Barbican along Chiswell Street The prototype HST power cars, along with their rake of Mk3 coaches, were painted in this fetching, modern blue and grey livery, with full yellow ends.

East Coast did experiment with their own livery, too – as seen here, embellishing 43299. Grand Central In a bizarre turn of events, Cotswold Rail turned one of their HSTs, 43087, into a life-size Hornby model! First Great Western ‘dynamic lines’ In the 1980s, British Rail refreshed the look of their HST fleet, with the introduction of InterCity ‘Executive’. It took the yellow from its predecessor, with a white, now filled-in logo, set on a dark grey base, complemented with a rake of beige and grey coaches accented with a red stripe.

Each auditorium has three permanent wheelchair spaces (two in the third row and one in the front row) and 153 fixed seats with capacity for a further three spaces in the front row. Access to each auditorium is up a ramp. There are also a number of seats with step-free access.Barbican Cinema 2 & 3 are located on Beech Street, a short walk from the Barbican’s Silk Street entrance. From Silk Street, you’ll see a zebra crossing that will take you over the road to the venue. You guessed it…it’s yet another HST livery for the Great Western mainline. But you’d have to say, it’s by far the best of the lot – just look at it. Pentagram’s ‘prestigious and straightforward’ visual identity is reflected in the deep green of their HSTs – in fact, it’s an entirely bespoke green, developed especially for GWR and based onthe original ‘dark holly green’ used on the first GWR locomotives. Directed by Greta Gerwig, co-written with Noah Baumbach, and starring, well, everybody, Barbie brings to life the doll of our childhoods, the perfect woman: Barbie.
