That DVT would have looked better if they had painted it in a similar livery to the High Speed Trashcans.

@craigybus1 Or a shade of Blue & Grey, to match the Mk3's. LOL

0:07 What train is that red one and in what livery

[theamateurbasher]

@ididi9 It's an ex Virgin Trains Driving Van Trailer (identical to the one seen at 0:35). Hope this helps.

Great Video, 5 Stars!

@60103Henry Thanks!

@theamateurbasher The shape of the DVT just lends its self to the original HST livery..Painting it all over rail blue makes it look a bit bland.

[theamateurbasher]

My guess is, they repainted that DVT to try and blend it in with the all-blue 86 and the BR Blue & Grey stock. Hasn't done much since the London KX to Doncaster Hull Trains working earlier last year - the last I heard was, the DVT was knocking around Wolverton works...

Thanks for commenting Trainbuff2008.

Strange seeing a DVT in BR blue no arrows applied to it though??

This was only the second weekend of the three month diagram, and David Holden and I fancied recording the diagram while it lasted. Pity that 82115 is currently at Wolverton in storage, but hopefully the Cargo D Mk3's will continue to be used.
