This picture of a 701 with a bit of sticky tape along the side is on railforums, though I think it was "leaked" first via Reddit. Why it hasn't been used officially is a puzzle: that does look like an official Heidi Alexander. And while we might think it's such a limp squib it's too embarrassing to crow about, DfT's PROs don't embarrass easily (if at all).

At 1853 you posted about a URL.... I've taken a look at the URL posted and it appears that the image will only be visible to members who are also logged in to railforum ... "You must be logged-in to do that" is what I got when I tried to load the image. Stuving posted that pic from Railforums at 1910. So what were you referring to?
