C69 stock cars 5555 and 6555

[Deleted]

I noticed in districtdave.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=hc&action=display&thread=21140 that 5555 and 6555 are listed as having carried the yellow pages livery.

Where these the only cars that did carry this scheme? I ask as back in the late 1990's I photographed some C stock cars in that scheme but as it was at a distance never knew what the car numbers were.

I need to find that photo now and take a look at it (think it was at Paddington).

There would have been two other units that similarly carried the Yellow Pages or Olympic Bid liveries... but not to my knowledge, the same ones.

5555/6555 have worn the most liveries as other C69/77 units have had two or three during their time.

• Silver (aluminum)
  
• Prototype LU livery/advert (carried by a small number)
  
• LU livery

C Stock AOA liveries:

5537+5555+5593 "Yellow Pages" 1998-1999.

5532-5555-5570 ""Olympic" livery 2004 to (very) early 2006.

It should be noted that 5532 is no longer with us (scrapyard in the sky) and that 5593 is now 5548 (the pair were renumbered in early 2006 after the 7/7 (2005) incident).
