Just to confirm that, against what I originally said, 333006 has returned to traffic, still in 'old' livery...so that's one fewer EMUs done and another to add to the 'to vinyl' list! |

Yep, if you can/will keep on top of that, then good; that's the best way...
...we might also be aiming for a record number of 'edits' as well? |

Were my eyes deceiving me in the rain tonight, or did I see a silver Alphaline 158 complete with Northern local advertising swooshes on each carriage? This was about 21:30 at Conisbrough heading toward Doncaster from Sheffield.

IE. Alphaline's base silvery-livery, with the pictorial stickers?
EDIT: Posted before actually getting to the point!
Either way, did the pictures look remotely like those on 158855 - my guess is that it was 'Skimbleshanks' you saw (aka. "Exmoor Explorer") and anything like these pics?:

That's my only guess

Yes, that's it... I've not seen it before has it been around for a while? I can't imagine Northern would go to the trouble of tarting it up like that rather than wait for the full repaint.

Yes its been a busy little bee eaning its paint hasn't it plus folowed me arround a bit on Saturday too.
I was going to try and get a photo of it a St.helens Ctl but it poored down with rain typical !
I wrekon the next ones of the Merseyrail batch to be painted will be :-

Shurley then all the 142's would have been re-painte d or are there still some in Arriva Livery.

About half the ex-Arriva fleet is still in Arriva livery, and doesn't actually look that bad! |
