Old liveries... even older trains.

-
The pacers have been seen in a number of liveries.... here are a few which are no longer with us, unlike the trains themselves.

The old Northern Livery seen at Darlington. 

Regional Railways livery. 


These two from the time Arriva Trains ran the local services in the north east.

This one in the south bay at Darlington station. 

A Tyneside variation of the Arriva livery... again at the south end of Darlington station on a Saltburn train. These trains used to be 6/8 coach trains made up of non corridor stock headed by a 2-6-4T or 4-6-2T steam loco.

DRS have tried to bring a bit more style back into its locomotive designs with the new class 68 locos. I found 68002 standing at York Station in the spot where we usually find two 1957 vintage class 20s. 68002 is named INTREPID. 68002 stands alongside the snow plough in York station. The loco stands next to the new signalling centre.

  While staying near to the Carlisle to Newcastle line recently all ECML London to Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Inverness trains were diverted past our door! A London bound train heads East through Bardon Mill Station.  A train of aviation fuel passes bound for Prestwick. A northbound train passes heading west. Tanks for Fort William head west.  A local stopping train pulls away from Bardon Mill station bound for Newcastle. Another Azuma bound for Scotland.
