New East Midlands franchise colour scheme has just been announced. This Franchise is being taken over by stagecoach. The colours involved are very similar to those used on the 442 and 444 electrics.

Looks very nice on the artists impression of Meridian.

It even includes a mention of Stagecoach RAIL from 1992, which I worked on!

Hopefully they will mingle the liveries into their Midland Mainline as well

Something very strange going on here. BBC has National Express winning the EC franchise and also state they own Midland Mainline which I believe is correct


RB's link states Stagecoach is the owner of the Midland Mainline franchise
Or is this a case of present and future owners


Still no "00" meridian though either way. By the way the new livery looks horrible IMHO

NatEx are the current operators of Midland Mainline and takeover the East Coast franchise a few weeks after that

Replace "GNER" with "Your East Coast" from December 2007
Look out for two Mark 3a/b sets joining their fleet from 2010

I am looking forward to seat specific reservations online, currently can only do this by going to my local station and making the reservation in person (VT Class 390 Coach J Seat 35)
