From Joshmaster at 2007-08-13 16:07:09 : This could be partly true, as stagecoach are getting East Midlands franchise :D
From bjmorley at 2007-08-13 19:59:05 : Yo could of made it for the Stagecoach Midland Rail ltd Franchise thats arrivin in november, cos stagecoach hasnt had the decentcy to make a website or a livery up for us yet. any way nice livery looks better with the expanded blue line in my opinion
From The Master at 2007-08-13 20:36:34 : What's this then? http://www.eastmidlandstrains.co.uk/
From Rob at 2007-08-14 12:59:01 : Just swap the West Coast for East Midlands and we may see this!
From Nyall trainmad at 2007-08-18 10:41:00 : it is still a nice looking train, what ever it says for the company, like that pendolino that's on here somewhere!
From Christopher125 at 2007-08-19 17:36:37 : Owen, your 100% certified genius - if this (exact!) livery isnt used on the EMT HST's then Stagecoach are much the poorer for it!
From 43001 at 2007-08-23 14:28:10 : Great! I'd like to see it in real life!
From Matt at 2007-08-24 23:05:16 : Almost like the Pigs are back! Certainly from the centre of the train anyway. Great work!
From James at 2007-08-28 10:43:00 : White on a hst power car :D hehe
From Dai O'rea at 2007-08-29 11:06:32 : Yes - they won't stay white for long will they? How's about one streaked with oil, or displaying fire damage?!?
From bjmorley at 2007-08-29 12:01:28 : TO THE MASTER! i had to grab your attention! we was told until recently it was Stagecoach Midland Rail Ltd. so its not my fault i didnt knoiw there was a website
From Sam at 2007-08-29 22:33:40 : You will see it soon in real life 43001 as EMT will be painting their HST's in it.
From bjmorley at 2007-08-31 09:57:38 : dear sam, will we see it with the blue band up to just behind the drivers door or the old guards compartment door? i hope it goes to the front door, that looks interesting. a bit like the old Blue & Grey
From Sam at 2007-09-02 22:16:36 : Obviously it will be in the more swirly style as on the picture on emt website
From Dan Carter at 2007-09-08 20:43:41 : What could have happened if extension of the third rail electrification didn't take place between Bournemouth and Weymouth, and the Class 442's were hauled by a diesel loco at one end - to simply replace the Class 33/1s and TC's with modern stock!
From Sam at 2007-10-29 18:44:52 : That last comment wasnt actually from me but i still agree with it, and as far as im aware it will be as shown here going around the front of the train but with a big swirl behind the drivers door, however this isnt 100% definate so dont go definately expecting it to be exactly like this :D
From lee at 2007-12-09 21:01:05 : Have not seen them yet but a pair of ex GNER power cars with set are running around scotland in the new stagecoach livery, Is this it ? I wonder.
From Daniel Read at 2008-01-21 16:24:50 : Do you think that the HSTS used by East Midlands Trains will be something like this?
From David Broster at 2008-01-31 10:49:09 : Daniel: I think this could well be the future livery, althuogh I feel more red would be good on the sides of the power-car - this is going to look awful as soon as the PCs start spilling oil and soot down their sides!
From Rob at 2008-03-31 23:09:13 : An EMT 45 and 47 would be good!
From L. E. Greys at 2008-04-01 21:19:49 : I wish someone had warned National Express about that!
From Mark Bowerbank at 2008-05-07 21:46:29 : Excellent premonition. The real thing has now been released by EMT on the Midland Main Line. I hope Stagecoach paid you a royalty!
From J English at 2008-05-30 15:30:27 : Rather better than the real thing!
From GWR 4612 at 2008-10-30 13:41:23 : This is happening now, exept with EAST MIDLAND TRAINS' branding. You can see them in sheffield, pulling MIDLAND MAINLINE mk3s.
