Spotted at Swindon today ...
Was that the 1641 to Swansea? I also spotted it from my train heading in the opposite direction, the 1642 to Paddington. EDIT: It occurs to me that the livery is adorning a not particularly 'green' form of rail traction. Similar to all the diesel buses running around Bristol at the moment proudly advertising 'Bristol 2015 - European Green Capital'.  |

Won't be long before we see the first full set of Mk3s in the new livery out in passenger service. The following picture shows a complete set of G WR green Mk3s making their way from Kilmarnock to Laira in Plymouth: https://www.flickr.com/photos/britishrail1980sand1990s/19471203293/in/photolist-vEB1nB-wBTivR-wARc6vA video of the set: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHG1dwwfgFc It's a full 8 coaches, minus any G WR branding or 1st Class markings. One lonely Dynamic Lines coach in the consist too. The Mark 2s in the consist are barrier vehicles. I note that the catering vehicle is a full size kitchen. The sooner that's back on the Pullman circuit the better.    |

Really do not like the silver, looks really tacky. A nice cream would have contrasted the green really well IMO▸ .

On the approach to Paddington yesterday morning I notice one of the coaches of the sleeper set, which was parked at Old Oak Common (as is normal) was in the new green. i like it - but agree it looks fairly simple/bland

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Will they be applying logos nearer / at the time of the rebrand? |

One HST▸ set has been completed in GWR▸ both externally and internally and will feature in the launch ceremony. Another set is being done but this will just be a paint job.

Not all staff will receive the uniform by September, some may be as late as February.

No staff will receive their uniform in September. They'll all get them in the new year. On the job trials are currently taking place to make sure it suits everyone's needs.

Meanwhile the green HST▸ coaches were berthed in two roads at Laira this lunchtime.
