One of them things ,eh??

I have a question about 91s. Why is it that on the lights of the 91s is there all 4 head lights on, I thought that only 3 are supposed to be on? In all my times of seeing the 91s they have had all 4 lights on, all struck me as strange.

This colour scheme is nice but it's nothing compared to GNER's Blue and red

@liamshaw666 one to ask the drivers of the 91's??

なんとなく新幹線の「こまち」みたいな配色ですね。

@shinomoritaka (Somehow the bullet train "Komachi" I like color.) Think that's the translation?? Big debate here about it's colour, some like it, others don't like it. Many thanks.

@dfoggin :-) lol

@ay76 Haha yeah, I think I have actually seen it. Given another 5-10 years on the ageing 91s ;)

@dfoggin Seen a video on here some where, with them rolling out, & fitting the white stripe at Kings Cross.

I'm glad these things got a bit of TLC and I think they look pretty good! Those 225 sets still had all that blue paint from GNER with the white stripe livery! It looked like a guy had just got a roll of tape and let the train set off with that old NEEC/EC one.
