If Network Rail work to their usual speeds the Javelin's will be obsolete :P

Does look good though - the livery suits it.

The question is though will First keep the franchise?

I always fancied a Pendolino or Voyager in GNER blue.

I've heard of budget cuts - http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/image/5838-royal-class-143/

I thought that HSTs and the 91s looked nice in GNER deep blue. Javelins would suit not just the livery, but the line as well

Perhaps we may end up with this!

In-fact, as I'm posting a link to that photo, I do thoroughly recommend a good look through the rest of the photos on there

One suspects H & S would be all over that livery - not enough yellow. Potential for what yellow there is there to not be visible over the brow of a hill. Either that, or it'll take something to happen (god forbid) and RAIB to recommend more yellow.
