C'm on TG▸ (TaplowGreen - a respected member of this forum - or, possibly, a train cancellation code ("cancelled due to an issue with the train crew"), depending on context). Lots of pics of broken down trains in the new livery wouldn't be good for the "fixing Britain's  broken railway " propaganda campaign...

Yep, very true!

What on Earth was the point of that? Surely GBR▸ (Great British Railways) livery would have made more sense with only a few weeks of GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) to go?

More public money wasted.

GWR made the offer to put them into plain base GBR blue……
