Intercity Swallow appreciation

Intercity Swallow livery, as carried by HST, class 47s, 73s, 86s, 87s, the 89, 90s and 91s in the early 1990's. A very smart colour scheme which suited all of these classes and is leagues above most modern rail company liveries!

GNER appreciation:

Great North Eastern Railway; the first operator to run the Intercity East Coast franchise after privatisation and the only one to last longer than three years! They were a well respected operator and had a smart livery. It's a pity they're no more.

Intercity electrics and a diesel guest at Crewe in 2024, but it could almost be 1994.
