Hi All,
Has anyone seen the little blue train in an interesting livery? Its a light blue shell with lighter red doors painted in a 'panel' kind of pattern.
Saw it at Hammersmith EB at about 1330 today.
Doesn't appear to be any writing that I could spot, whats it in aid of exactly or did the livery guys just get bored?

Or could it be the red one with the blue doors?
It has been done like that to celebrate the opening of the Piccadilly Line (1906) and something along the 'Platform for art' lines. Not actually driven it yet as it is only allowed on certain trains because it's not allowed through Cockfosters wash!

I saw it about a fortnight ago when I was travelling round the system taking photos for the quiz. It was leaving the station just as I arrived on the platform but I did get the one picture of it.  (click for a larger version) |

Or could it be the red one with the blue doors? DOC Isn't it red with blue doors one side and blue with red doors the other? (Also, I think the squares are the tube equivalent of 'go faster stripes'!) ;) |
