I've just seen a DLR train in a livery that is I guess Olympia related but it could be an advertising scheme.
The train sides are black or possibly dark blue with pictures of what I think are swimmers. The doors are light blue, possibly DLR blue.
It was departing northbound towards Startford International as I arrived on the platform at West Ham so I didn't get a good look at it let alone get the unit number. The unit it was coupled to was in normal livery. I think it was an old-style train but I'm not certain.

I don't know, that site doesn't work on my phone. I caught another glimpse of it heading the other way, this time at Gallions Reach. It's definitely black and light blue and it's a 3-car set including unit 74.
Edit: Something was wrong with the text, so I corrected it to make sense. DavidH.

I like! ;D
Particularly the swimmers along the side, given that the recent deluge will probably have them at about the right level.

This is one of the better advertising liveries lately...
Like too.

I got a slightly better glimpse as I saw it enter King George V eastbound as the train I was on departed westbound and it does look good.
On the way home this evening I saw a train including unit 82 heading the other way at Custom House. It was wrapped in a Lyca Mobile livery. From what I saw it's slightly better than their Overground livery but not exactly good.

Since it is not obvious who, or what, product is being advertised here I'm not sure how successful this design is! I saw a taxi at Paddington a week ago with GE adverts ... for their aircraft engines! It also had the problem of the logos being too small to see from a distance. I guess they are just advertising the fact that they're sponsoring the olympics. On the way home this evening I saw a train including unit 82 heading the other way at Custom House. It was wrapped in a Lyca Mobile livery. From what I saw it's slightly better than their Overground livery but not exactly good. I like the 378s in LycaMobile livery, the only problem is that it's not different enough from the standard Overground livery to get your attention immediately. The class 319 looks worse, but that's because there's still some of the unit's old Southern livery on the cabs. |

the products being promoted are on the doors with the GE logo - these include body scanners - pretty hard to miss when you get on the train |
