Rumours of a new livery for a fleet that hasn't even fully entered service yet!
I would hazard a guess to do with Remembrance Sunday/Armistice Day.Rumours of a new livery for a fleet that hasn't even fully entered service yet!
What about your numbersake?
Nah that would be impossible as they swap a different set of units onto the express route every week.

Okay, so not a new livery then, but some added vinyls.
Not much of a change but looks class with the poppy’s love it. Also 745005 has the same livery too, not too sure about the 720 yet.

144 + 502 are at Ilford.
534 is back at Derby.
Hip hip horaay now that’s 13 left to go brilliant. I reckon 502, 139, 140 & 144 will be next as already waiting at ilford.
It’s first ever journey with passengers on was early hours 05:55 2F02 Shenfield to Braintree, then 1F09 06:42 into Liverpool Street & into orient way until 16:55.

140 was paired with 137 in service yesterday. RTT doesn't show the allocation though.

Has 720137 got into trouble ?
Pics below show RTT entry with a box at the top saying :-
En-route, reduced speed
At Manningtree
Route set to between Manningtree and Ipswich
Following 1P22 1100 London Liverpool Street to Norwich.
That is a new one on me.

Unlikely. Hasnt it just caught up the train in front?
That feature of RTT, track your train, is only available on the Liverpool Street routes - see https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/about/trackyourtrain/
I think the culprit is this train which obstructed platform 2 at Colchester and made the Norwich service late but even that doesnt seem to have actually impacted on the running time of 720137 on 1Y14.

It ended up only 3 minutes down at Ipswich anyway. I was wondering if they were queuing to get past a fallen tree or slowed due to the stronger winds that I am not sure affect that area yet !. As you say 1Y14 looks more likely. Thanks for the info on the new feature (Track Your Train) for me to get used to.Unlikely. Hasnt it just caught up the train in front?
